I have changed the wording of this Question

Ques :

Fashion Designer Manish designed the all white collection titled Freedom for a famous fashion house in Paris,France,a example of his Indian cloth concept

a. Fashion Designer Manish designed the all white collection titled Freedom for a famous fashion house in Paris,France,an example of his Indian cloth concept
b. Desgined for a Famous fashion house in Paris,all white collection titled Freedom ,an example of Manish's Indian cloth concept
C. An example of his Indian cloth concept,all white collection titled Freedom was designed for a famous fashion house in Paris.
d. An example of his Indian cloth concept , Designer Manish designed the all white collection titled Freedom
e. ... (This is definitely wrong)

I am confused b/w A and C
OA is C

Why A is wrong ? if we have a sentence like
eg : the house of XYZ area,a dream concept

so is it right to say that "a dream concept" modifier can modify the house?
if yes then why A is wrong?
If no then why this construction is not correct?

My concern with A would be the phrase "an example of his Indian cloth concept". That is clearly describing the Freedom collection, a noun, and because the phrase is modifying a noun it should sit next to the noun. Notice how C corrects this error.
