The Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2015, beginning here on Wednesday, will mark the completion of 15 years of the bi-annual event. To celebrate the milestone, a heady mix of upcoming and veteran talent is ready to create a benchmark of diversity and creativity in fashion at the five-day gala.
“Our commitment to the business of fashion has made us the platform of choice for established Indian designers from all over the world. We will present five stunning offsite shows this season, including India’s first Instagram show with a stellar line-up of top Indian designers,” Saket Dhankar, Head-Fashion at IMG Reliance told IANS.
As many as 83 designers and 15 sponsors will participate in Summer/Resort 2015 edition of LFW. The names include those like Raghavendra Rathore, Tarun Tahiliani and Wendell Rodricks, Kiran Uttam Gosh, Krishna Mehta, Manish Malhotra, Suneet Verma, and Shivan & Narresh.
Apart from such big names, 16 models are set to debut at the fashion event along with 39 new and upcoming designers, who will showcase their creations in the Emerging category at the Jabong Stage, one of the show areas at the event.
What is unique about this season are the four offsite shows of some of the prominent names in the fashion world. While Anamika Khanna will present her Sculpt line at the grand finale show at the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum, Sabyasachi Mukherjeee will open the season with an offsite show as well at Richardson & Cruddas.
Talking about the grand finale designer, Purnima Lamba, head of Innovation at Lakme said: “On this special occasion of Lakme Fashion Week’s 15th anniversary, Lakme is proud to showcase ‘Sculpt’ – our fashion forecast for 2015. Anamika’s craftsmanship lends itself seamlessly to bringing alive this cutting-edge trend forecast at the grand finale.”
