    The three-day event will be held from October 6-8 at DLF Place, Saket.
     
    The designer's collection will be made with 100 per cent Khadi by weavers of Bikaner and it will be a tribute to Mahatma Gandhi. 
     
    The show has been curated by Russell, who will also be presenting her collection for the second time at India Runway Week. 
     
    "I want to explore the diversity of the fabric and contextualize it in today's world. The idea of presenting Rajasthan Khadi is to get the younger generation to appreciate their countryman's produce," Russell said in a statement.
