It is the first time we are hosting a fashion sequence at the Showroom to showcase the collections of the designers that are exclusively showcasing for buyers only. This is another step towards enhancing the business of fashion at Lakmé Fashion Week.
The Showroom venue was packed to capacity as the fast-paced show by 25 designers started to the beat of throbbing music. The variety of clothes covered a cross-section of styles, designs, detailing and embellishments that will set the trend for the coming season. From cute, summer dresses in vibrant colours to comfortable semi-formal clothes and then went on to some gorgeous formal and couture Indian/Western creations. The show offered a wide spectrum of ensembles to suit every mood and occasion.
