Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) is one of India's most renowned fashion events, and the 2023 edition was no exception. It is an age-old legacy where renowned brands amalgamate with one another once in a year to produce epic design lines. Although there were many exquisite creations on the runway, these five designs were especially noteworthy:
Park Avenue
Park Avenue is a premium menswear brand and was all ready to swing in style and pride on the ramp at Lakme Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI. The renowned showstoppers for the event were Shantanu Maheshwari and Rajkumar Rao. They looked stunning in these stellar creations and undoubtedly wowed the audience with their innate charm. They were seen donning outfits from Park Avenue’s 'city casuals' collection, which strives to create “functional” clothing that is apt as office wear and can also be worn during a party or simply lounging around. The actors undoubtedly struck all the appropriate notes, simply because of their unique charm and impeccable flair.
Kalki Fashion
Lehengas have been an age-old festive tradition in itself. As the showstopper for Kalki Fashion, Disha Patani stepped onto the ramp and into the most amazing time of the year with a festive display of a floral ivory lehenga that is true to the brand's trendy spectrum and the star's unique style. She posed in a beige lehenga with vibrant filigree embroidery on it and a bralette blouse that matched and had Disha's favorite detail—a plunging neckline—that bridges the gap between traditional and Western attire. It's evident that nobody does as much justice to traditional designs quite like Disha Patani does when it comes to adding a contemporary twist.
Pallavi Mohan
Pallavi Mohan debuted her show "My Journey....Just the Beginning" with former Miss Universe Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu for the brand Not So Serious. It's reasonable to say that the runway transformed into a dream world when Harnaaz stole the show in a captivating purple gown that left the crowd speechless. With its exquisite feather design and stunning sequins, the dress was a work of sartorial art that danced with every elegant stride. The airy playfulness of the feathers gave her an angelic appearance leaving the whole crowd mesmerized.
Falguni Shane Peacock
The growing trend of contemporary street culture serves as the inspiration for Falguni Shane Peacock's bold street-luxe collection. Falguni Shane Peacock has a history of pushing boundaries in the creative industry. Staying true to its youthful and edgy roots, the brand has always drawn inspiration from artistic endeavors. This collection showcased the best of street-meets-demi couture. A new level of stylish coherence is blended with an air of sensuality and vigor in the tailoring. The collection's goal, along with the recently established description of street couture, is to convey an optimistic, joyful attitude together with a sense of freedom. Also, Kiara Advani graced the ramp as the bold and sexy muse for Falguni Shane Peacock.
TASVA
TASVA introduces the wedding dress line, which meticulously reimagines the essence of Indian culture and heritage for the Modern Indian Man. The collection honors the classic appeal of luxury, showcasing inner comfort and external beauty. It enhances the brand's concept of India Global by fusing traditional artistry with contemporary sensibilities. This collection, which includes a variety of architectural, flora, and fauna elements, was inspired by India's rich architectural legacy and breathtaking natural splendor. The showstopper for this amazing brand was none other than Vijay Verma. He left the crowd spellbound with his graceful walk and fun attitude.
Showcasing the best of Indian design, the 2023 edition of LFW brought attention to the significance of sustainability in the fashion industry. The designers showcasing their creations at LFW are setting notable standards for environmentally conscious and sustainable fashion.
