What To Expect From FDCI X Lakmé Fashion Week 2024

Lots of inspiration for the fashion girlies

Fashion lovers can expect LOTS of major inspiration this season. Péro will showcase at the opening show this season, which will be a collaboration with Hello Kitty. As Hello Kitty celebrates 50 years and Péro marks 15 years, these two brands collaborate for what is anticipated to be a very special collection. If Péro’s past shows at the Lakme Fashion Week are anything to go by, this one should be a spectacular show. Fashion girls can also expect some great looks from Kanika Goyal Label and Dhruv Kapoor.

Great menswear

Antar Agni by Ujjwal Dubeyhas us forever gushing about their beautiful silhouettes, which are somehow both dressed up and chilled out, and that’s what we are expecting from Antar Agni’s collection titled ‘Two-faced’. Men should expect lots of inspiration from this collection, in terms of fabrics, silhouettes and even styling. The looks are going to have major styling inspo for men. We called it!

Other designers that men can expect lots of inspiration from areAbraham & Thakore, Vikram Bajaj, Countrymade, Line Outline, Tisa Studio, Pawan Sachdeva…it’s a long list! Dear men, keep an eye out for some major trends.

Playlist upgrade

Gone are the days when fashion weeks were only about great clothes. Now we look forward to cool runway set-ups, diverse model casting and of course, great music. Music in fashion shows are having a moment, with Kunal Rawal last year, and Abu Sandeep earlier this year giving us full-fledged playlists of songs by Akshay & IP to vibe on. So, it’s safe to say that we expect some great additions to our Spotify playlists.

Interesting looks for brides-to-be (and serial wedding attendees)

Dear soon-to-be brides, be ready to bookmark some looks for your pre-wedding festivities. With designers like Rishi Vibhuti, Ashdeen, Awigna, Kalki, Megha Bansal,Punit Balana,Payal Singhalshowcasing, this season is sure to have a plethora of looks for brides to be.

Showcases that reiterate the fact that sustainability does not have to be boring

If you are a slow fashion girlie (which all of us should be, btw), this season has a great lineup of sustainable brands that are just as stylish. With brands like Ananya-The Label, Saldon 2112, 11.11/eleven eleven, and Ek Katha showcasing, this season of LFW has something for everyone, even lovers of sustainable fashion. We are particularly excited for theshowcase of Til by Ankur Verma, the winner of this season’s NEXA The Spotlight.
