Mohammed Mazhar’s latest collection at the Lakmé Fashion Week x FDCI 2025 is a tribute to the wood artisans of Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh.

After two exciting days, Day 3 of Lakmé Fashion Week x FDCI 2025 started with a fantastic showcase by Mohammed Mazhar. The ace designer roped in actor Shilpa Shetty to walk the ramp to showcase his latest collection that celebrates the immaculate craftsmanship of Sahranpur, Uttar Pradesh.

The show saw Shilpa Shetty dressed in a stunning white saree. The white saree was adorned with thick black horizontal and vertical lines running across the length of the fabric. The saree was draped to perfection. However, what was the highlight of the overall look was the breastplate bodice that she had worn over the saree.

Crafted entirely out of wood, the breastplate bodice was adorned with white floral motifs. Speaking at the press conference at the Lakmé Fashion Week x FDCI 2025, Shilpa said, “I think it’s a brilliant idea, a great initiative, to create fashion and have the thought of also creating livelihood for these people in Saharanpur. I totally support the cause. Look at the kind of fashion that Mohammad churns out. I think it’s truly innovative. It’s hard to work with wood, but he made it look so glamorous and has given power dressing a new definition.”

The addition of the breastplate to the saree elevated the entire look. With its structured and well-defined silhouette, the bodice gave the overall look a powerful allure. The structure of the bodice and the effortless flow of the saree truly was a beautiful blend of two polar opposite silhouettes. The blend created a vision that gave a new definition to power dressing and creating a statement.

The saree was paired with chunky statement bangles on both wrists. The designer also added a statement bracelet on Shilpa’s upper arm. With her hair tied in a chic updo and confidence in her steps, Shilpa brought Mohammed Mazhar’s vision to life.
