A product of the London School Of Fashion, Mandira honed her skills in the art of fashion designing from the international malls of London. Fusion being her mainstay; her clothes exude class and wearability that is reflected in her easy silhouettes, minimal embroideries and in straight and structured cuts.
Wirk describes designing as a “passion turned profession”. She rightly believes that design and style are an extension of a person’s personality and attitude. What sets this passionate designer apart is her vision. She uses a variety of fabrics like Silk, Crepe, Satin, Tussar, Blends, Jamavar, Georgette, Zari and Tissue and creates designs that suit the millennium-working woman. Her creations are a symbol of subtlety and many of her designs bear the forte of being seamless in their style. Her clothes have the simplicity of a genius, with attention to every meticulous detail.
Her first break in the fashion industry was with Rina Dhaka in 1999 and Wirk describes it as a great learning experience. She created a furore in the fashion arena with her 2001 Fall/Winter collection ‘Dawn To Dusk’ at Maurya Sheraton. In 2002, Mandira showcased her spring summer 2002 collection at the Lakme India Fashion Week followed by her highly acclaimed Fall/winter collection 2002. ‘Mandira Wirk’ is a designer wear label that has evolved over the last decade as a brand.
