Manish Malhotra's much-awaited Mijwan 2018 fashion show is here and this time, we're even more excited about it because ex-couple Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor will be coming together to walk the ramp as showstoppers for Malhotra. Known as the 'The Walk of Mijwan', the annual show, now in its 9th year, is a fundraiser fashion show where the biggest names in films, fashion and business come together in solidarity for the annual event.

The event, hosted by the Mijwan Welfare Society is all set to put up a spectacular fashion show where designer Manish Malhotra will display his creations. He will be showcasing the exquisite craft of Chikankari by Mijwan's women, fashioned into contemporary silhouettes in his signature styles. This is the 9th annual fundraiser for Mijwan in support of the movement started by Shabana Azmi's late father, Kaifi Azmi in 1993. Noted Urdu poet and writer Kaifi Azmi founded Mijwan Welfare Society with the goal of making Mijwan a scalable and replicable model of development with a focus on the girl child and women. In 1993, Mijwan didn't exist on the map of India, but today, Mijwan is known worldwide. "The annual Mijwan fashion show brings the spotlight on Mijwan and gives us the means to carry on all the work behind the scenes that MWS does. We run The Kaifi Azmi School and Inter-College for girls, The Kaifi Azmi Computer Centre, The Kaifi Azmi Sewing and Embroidery centre," said Youth President Namrata Goyal. "The Sewing and Embroidery Centre started with 40 girls, today it has 400 workers spread over 10 villages in UP," she added. The NGO is now headed by Shabana along with Naresh Goyal's daughter Namrata.

Last year, Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma walked the ramp and this year, we hear that Deepika Padukone will be taking to it with 'ex-flame', Ranbir Kapoor. Manish even put up a sneak-peek into what his collection will look like. Here, take a look:


This is huge and we're excited about it already! Tune in on the 9th 'cause you can trust us to get you all the awesomeness that takes to Malhotra's ramp on the 9th of April!
