For the very first time two major fashion houses merged to show a sign of unity and support for the Indian fashion industry especially for the year they have had (correction: we all have had). Presenting what they called a “phygital” show (a fusion of physical models on a digital runway) FDCI x Lakmé Fashion Week showcased a wonderful array of designers who paraded their latest collections. Check out our fave 5 right here!
Pankaj and Nidhi
Design duo Pankaj and Nidhi unveiled a geometrical womenswear collection named “Kaleidoscope.” Lakme Fashion Week announced on Facebook, “Holographic embroidery, dextrously hand-cut appliqués of triangles, squares, diamond shapes, and the grading play a role in building on the prismatic theme.”

Paras and Shalini
Titled “Sweet Reminiscences,” the collection by Paras and Shalini was a whimsical, dreamy affair. Floral ball gowns, volume sleeves and tulle fabrics ruled this line.
