Mijwan Fashion Show Marks 15 Years of Rural Empowerment and Indian Craftsmanship
The Mijwan Fashion Show, celebrating its 15th edition, highlights the legacy of Urdu poet Kaifi Azmi's vision for rural empowerment in Mijwan village, Uttar Pradesh. Founded in 1993, the Mijwan Welfare Society promotes education and skill development, especially for women. After Kaifi Azmi's passing, his daughter Shabana Azmi continued the work, while designer Manish Malhotra elevated the artisans' craft to global fashion platforms. The event combines Bollywood glamour with a focus on cultural heritage and economic independence for rural women.
