Kathmandu – On August 9, 2025, House of Fashion Nepal, in collaboration with the Thamel Tourism Development Council (TTDC) and Mandala Street, transformed the heart of Thamel into a vibrant runway with the En Vogue XI Mandala Street Fashion Show—a spectacular fusion of bold streetwear, rich cultural heritage, and youth empowerment.
The event welcomed notable guests including Dhurba Adhikari (TTDC Chairman), Prasai Raj Bhandari (Owner, Mandala Street), Anil Gurung (Director, Mandala Street), Ram Sharan Thapaliya (TTDC Chief Advisor), and Gita Gurung (TTDC Advisor).
The reigning En Vogue X title holders—Ashim Saxena and Sharon Lepcha Bajracharya (Brand Ambassadors), Siddhant KC (Commercial Ambassador), Jasmine Shakya (First Runner-up), Biyom Jung Rana and Sanam Aryal (Second Runner-ups), and Sandhya Rana Magar (High on Fashion and Supermodel of the Year)—graced the runway alongside the En Vogue XI finalists, offering their support and inspiration.
Behind the scenes, the Content Creation Winners for En Vogue XI were also announced: Jay Rai (Male) and Sonusha Thapa Magar (Female).

This year’s show made history by blending traditional performances with contemporary fashion, featuring the pulsating beats of the Dhime Khala and the cultural Lakhey dance, adding cultural depth to the vibrant street runway.
TTDC Chief Advisor Ram Sharan Thapaliya and Mandala Street Owner Prasai Raj Bhandari praised House of Fashion Nepal for organizing the event, expressing hopes to host more such initiatives in the future to promote Thamel and Mandala Street as must-visit destinations for tourists.
With its strong #EmpowerYouth message, En Vogue XI proved to be more than a fashion showcase—it was a powerful platform for young creatives to express themselves, embrace their potential, and inspire the next generation to be unapologetically bold.
