LYF SMARTPHONES PRESENTS LAKME FASHION WEEK SUMMER RESORT ’16 – DAY 3 & 4 HIGHLIGHTS
Day 3 of Lakme Fashion Week Summer Resort ’16 presented by LYF Smartphones started off with Anushree Reddy’s show. Shruti Hassan decked in bridal glory was the perfect show stopper for Anushree’s bridal line. Day 3 saw a mix of tradition, quirky street style, chic and casual and military madness with Little Shilpa’s show at the LYF terrace of the St. Regis. ‘Recall, Reload, Remix 20.16’ started off with a military-toned ‘Feral Nation’ segment presenting autumn/winter ’16. ‘Madness of Muchness’ was an ode to the Mad Hatter. ‘The Rocket Jockey’ mixed elements of the ’80s, neoprene, lace for a whimsical take on sports wear. I particularly liked Amit Aggarwal’s show. Inspired by the magma, he played with color and surface and sent out voluminous dresses and gowns using methods such as quilting, pleating, and texture. Another example of ‘Fashion Meets Technology’ at LFW’16. Here are some pictures from Day 3.

So Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2015 is taking place from 18-22 March in Mumbai. Want to know who’s the Grand Finale designer this year? It is none other than Kolkata’s very own Anamika Khanna and I was invited to her flagship store in the city couple of days back for the unveiling of ‘Sculpt’, Lakme’s biggest beauty statement for Summer/Resort 2015. A part of Lakme Fashion Week’s 15 year celebrations, the event marked the opening of a 5 day multi-city tour and it started with Kolkata because it is Anamika’s home town.
The event was hosted by Anamika and Purnima Lamba, Head of Innovation, Lakme. Speaking about her collection, Anamika said “This season, the grand finale of Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2015 will see an attempt to infuse Sculpt into Indian shapes. My collection will have a mix of ethereal and strong at the same time, revisiting the Indian craft. The color palette will include vivid corals and reds to bold pinks and plums; all summer brights merging with washed but intense primary colors, ivory remaining a constant and black, forever.”
