Sustainable Fashion Day, held on Day 2 of Lakme Fashion Week in collaboration with FDCI, featured some incredibly stunning runway designs. Given that sustainability was an urgent necessity, I thought it was great that they devoted a full day to it. Here are some of the second day’s highlights:
1. The Collection of Inca, Til, and Yavi
With their current collection, Inca, Til, and Yavi showcased sustainable design with clothing that promised both unparalleled comfort and glamour. The actor-activist walked the runway looking stunning in Inca’s most recent collection.
2. Gaurang Shah’s Designs in Pink Hues
Gaurang’s “Gulaal” Lakm Fashion Week Spring/Festive collection. Lehengas and sarees with long-forgotten embroidery, such as Mochi, Parsi Gada, Petite Point, Kasuti, Phulkari, Kutch, and Kashmiri, were featured in the collection in the adaptable color pink.
3. Tea Cultures of the World x Chola
With a focus on inclusivity and authenticity, Chola by Sohaya Misra and Tea Culture of the World-honored the merging of fashion and tea culture, embodying confidence, individualism, and empowerment. The collection’s runway was lit up by actresses Neha Dhupia and Konkona Sensharma’s stunning walks in black and white costumes.
4.SWGT’s ‘A Periwinkle Wednesday’ Collection
The most intriguing collection from SWGT is undoubtedly “A Periwinkle Wednesday,” which takes its cues from the designer’s first iteration of love. The compilation honors love in all its tender, humorous, poetic, entrancing, and even frivolous forms.
5. Urvashi Kaur’s U’Core
In Urvashi Kaur’s U’Core, contrasting selvages were prominently featured. Her mother, Anupama Singh, along with notable models like Ratna Pathak Shah, Tillotama Shome, Rasika Dugal, Mallika Dua, Faraz Ansani, Shweta Tripathi, and Santanu Hazarika, showcased the collection’s artistry through stitch line details and hand block printing.
