Nepali Designer Sanchita Shrestha Redefines Luxury Fashion at London Fashion Week by Funding Children's Education

London. Celebrated Nepali-origin fashion designer Sanchita Shrestha has redefined the concept of luxury fashion by unveiling her new collection 'Continuum' at London Fashion Week 2026. This time, she has taken the bold decision to cut back on the massive investment typically made in traditional fashion runways and instead channel the funds toward uplifting the education of underprivileged children in remote areas of Nepal. 

This move has been highly honored by the British Fashion Council, which has given space to Nepali stories and art at '180 The Strand,' the official hub of London Fashion Week. Sanchita's collection has captured everyone's attention at this historic event inaugurated by King Charles III of the United Kingdom. 

As King Charles emphasizes the promotion of sustainable fashion and eco-friendly clothing, Sanchita showcased garments made from leather derived from banana, mango, and apple peels, as well as recycled silk and bamboo fibers. More than 50 percent of her collection features upcycled materials from old fabric remnants given modern designs. Notably, she brought the strength of Nepali handicrafts to the heart of London by showcasing textiles handwoven by marginalized women from Nepal.

Sanchita stated that her campaign should not be limited only to the glamour of fashion but must be dedicated to humanitarian service. Stating, 'True innovation is not about increasing waste, but about leaving a legacy of compassion,' she clarified that her main goal is to spend her resources on children. 

Sanchita, known as the 'Green Goddess' in the field of sustainable fashion since 2011, has had her designs worn by Hollywood celebrities on prestigious red carpets such as the Oscars, BAFTAs, and Cannes.
