Saraanyaaaa
This London Fashion Week, The Mandrake is proud to host the unveiling of “The Tragedy Queen”, the SS26 collection by emerging couture house SARAANYAAAA.
A cinematic elegy woven in silk and sorrow, the collection draws inspiration from South Asian cinema’s most enigmatic archetype, the Tragedy Queen, reimagining her as a symbol of transformation and power. Through hand-embroidered zardozi, sheer saris, pearls, and sculptural draping, designer Saraanyaaaa fuses heritage craftsmanship with contemporary couture to create garments that are both delicate and architectural.
Presented within the otherworldly setting of The Mandrake, The Tragedy Queen becomes more than a runway, it is a visual poem of femininity, resilience, and cultural memory.
