A Sunday couldn’t have been any better than being a witness to fame and fad under one roof. Bollywood made a stop and eyed the sheer hard work of designers such as Neeta Lulla and Rahul Mishra who embedded the final day at Lakme Fashion Week 2016. The front row spotted stalwarts from various parts of the industry that included Juhi Chawla, Arshad Warsi, Vineet Jain, Sana Khan, and of course showstoppers who turned all eyes on them as they swirled on the ramp. Designers sported their creative couture alongside Amy Jackson, Ileana D’cruz and Shaina NC to name a few.
Garo by Priyangsu and Sweta
‘FEMMES di TAHITI’ the collection theme was inspired by native tahitian prints, colours and motifs. It incorporated the stunning natural beauty; beautiful floral landscapes and bohemian style of tahitian women with an eclectic French Polynesian flavour.
