Lakmé Fashion Week x FDCI embodies the eternal spirit of Indian weddings

Richa Khemka's runway show, titled Vantage, explored the balance between strength and softness through designs inspired by nature’s contrasts; from the movement of the sea to the stillness of the earth. The collection featured a blend of rich velvets, sheer organza, metallic fabrics, and detailed embroidery with beads and pearls. With its play of light and texture, Vantage reflected a sense of duality — resilience and delicacy, boldness and grace — brought together in harmonious form.

Designer Nikita Mhaisalkar transformed the Lakmé Fashion Week 2025 runway into an ethereal spectacle with her latest collection, Beyond, presented at The Grand, New Delhi. Adding to the grandeur, actor Sahil Salathia opened the show and art patron and actor philanthropist Shalini Passi walked as showstoppers for the showcase. Through this collection, the designer reaffirmed her position as one of India’s most evocative fashion storytellers who merges art, design, and cosmic imagination into a vision that resonates far beyond the runway. 

Mahima Mahajan’s FANAH Resort collection, showcased at Lakmē Fashion Week, draws inspiration from the Sufi philosophy of fanā; a journey of love and transcendence where the self dissolves into the divine. Designed for destination weddings and romantic escapes, the collection featured 25 exquisite ensembles, including the showstopper look worn by Vaani Kapoor. With flowing silks, organza, and georgette in pastel and jewel tones, the pieces combined intricate hand-embellishments and signature floral prints. Blending modern silhouettes with timeless craftsmanship, FANAH Resort captured the essence of elegance, emotion, and effortless beauty.

Lakmē Salon X Itrh unveiled Noor at Lakmē Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI; a radiant celebration of the Indian bride. Inspired by the luminous beauty of bridal tradition, the collection captured the transformation of a shy girl into a glowing bride, adorned in timeless Jadau jewellery and rich silks. Noor beautifully intertwined heritage, love, and grace, embodying the eternal spirit of Indian weddings.

Shantnu & Nikhil’s Velora, presented by NEXA at Lakmé Fashion Week x FDCI, was a powerful tribute to unapologetic glamour and cinematic allure. Inspired by the red-carpet sirens of the 1930s, the collection redefined modern couture through bold structure, fluid drapery, and commanding silhouettes. With its all-womenswear debut, Velora celebrated confidence and individuality.
