With this season’s beauty focus on eyes, Lakme will present an array of eyeshadows and gel pencils on the runway. “With the Lakmé Absolute Explore Eye Collection, our trend focus this season is all about the eyes, the window to our souls and importantly, visible above our masks. A range of trendy liquid-duo eyeshadows and vibrant gel pencils in never before, dramatic, unmissable colours and textures. Get ready for eyes that speak volumes,” says Sumati Mattu, Head of Innovations at Lakmé, adding, “Through the Lakmé Fashion Week, it has always been our endeavor to create an environment for the community that fosters new talent, innovation, and growth.

Also, The Showroom will be back in an on-ground format for buyers in addition to enhanced features in the virtual initiative. Sethi adds, “We are happy to announce that business is once again on a major upswing as we bring back the physical Showroom and additionally will also have a virtual one to cater to global buyers and help expand our reach. The schedule like previous FDCI x Lakmé Fashion Week season-fluid editions will continue to comprise a mix of designers from both cities, and beyond.”
Speaking about the return of physical shows, Jaspreet Chandok, Head RISE Fashion and Lifestyle says, “We are excited to announce the return of FDCI X Lakmé Fashion Week in the form of an on-ground event. While the last two years have challenged all of us to innovate and break past geographical barriers, we understand the magic of experiencing fashion in person.”

We look forward to alternate the fashion weeks between Delhi and Mumbai. This collaborative effort will give the platform and its stakeholders the opportunity to interact with varied audiences, while catering to the fashion communities across both hubs.”
