Last updated on: May 22, 2018 11:29 IST

Meet the Indian designer who put the spotlight on the sari at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. 

Sanjay Garg of Raw Mango is the current flavour of the season.

The Indian designer may not have attended Cannes, but he surely made headlines with celebs including Nandita Das, Rasika Duggal, Rajshri Deshpande, Tilotama Shome and Sayani Gupta wearing Indian separates designed by him to the film festival. 

While Rasika Duggal and Nandita Das were spotted wearing Raw Mango saris, Sayani Gupta looked pretty in a pink kurta by the designer. 

Take a look!
