The third year of Shabana Azmi’s NGO, Mijwan Welfare Society, hosted a fashion show, Mijwan Sonnets in Fabric 2012 on 3rd September at the Grand Hyatt, Mumbai. The highlight was Mijwan’s female population had their craftsmanship showcased on ramp, by leading models and celebrities, through Manish Malhotra’s designs. The 2012 edition of the show showcased embroidery done entirely by the girls of Mijwan. Manish has translated work done by Mijwan girls into contemporary modern designs.

“In the last three years Manish recognized the talent in Mizwan and has brought it to the forefront with the world now seeing the finest work on his creations. He has broken the tradition and made the girls translate chikankari on net to upgrade their skills and help them earn more money. This has increased their negotiating power with men in their households,” says Shabana Azmi.

wow, the embroidery work on the lehengas is to die for.
Shabana is such a role model. She doesn't just talk big, she actually gets things done.

I really hope the girls who did the work get paid adequately for their labour.

Manish should use his common sense before designing blouse for young girls.

the girl on Mrs.Ambani's left, looks so uncomfortable in that plunging neckline. Manish should be ashamed of giving a pubescent girl such blouse.

No wonder Shabana aunty was tweeting all the inside details from this show last week, she's a showstopper.
