Every year, the NIF Global's The Runway show showcases emerging talent from across the country.
This year, the Lakme Fashion Week x FDCI presented five collections by Mehwish Kokni and Abuzar Khan, Khushi Ketan Parekh and Sanika Rane, Mannat Jain and Sneha Ali Shetty, Anshu Suman and Mamta Sheoran and Akash Singh.
Designers Mannat Jain and Sneha Ali Shetty from NIF Global, Andheri, Mumbai, presented Folded Grids, a pret-wear collection inspired by Indian Madras checks and Japanese origami.
Actor Radhikka Madan walked as their showstopper.

The collection explored how flat grid patterns could transform into sculptural forms through folding, layering and panel construction.
It also explored bold colours and traditional Indian prints.
Origami folds, smocking, bamboo pleats and layered panels created architectural yet wearable silhouettes across dresses, shirts, jackets and wide-leg trousers for both men and women.
