Designer Neha Agarwal presented a fascinating women's wear collection "Mithila in Soho" at 6Degree Studio during Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) Winter/Festive 2017. The clothes spoke of a raw and bold look in a range of contemporary evening wear inspired by Madhubani Art. Art works inspired by ancient forms of Madhubani were brought to life by hand embroidery derived from the age-old weaving techniques of Uktu.

Marrying Madhubani art to modern sporty art, the silhouettes offered a characteristic style statement. The collection was a mix of sharp tailoring, mesmerisingly blended with conventional fits. Sheath dresses with predominant colourful Madhubani prints caused a sensation on the ramp. Showcasing diversity in their design aesthetics and overall versatility were a range of cropped tops, bell bottoms, tent dresses, palazzos, jumpsuits, skirts and shorts that were teamed with jackets that made the ensembles inventive yet commercial.
