RECOMMENDED FOR YOU: Hot debuts! Watch out for these LFW models
1. Monisha Jaising will present the finale
An old-time favourite, Monisha Jaising returns to Lakme Fashion Week runway with a collection that's meant for a diva.
Titled 'Shades of a Diva', her collection will feature 65 statement-making silhouettes in a dichotomous colour palette of aqua, sea foam green, cherry red, fushia and ultra-violet.
Kareena Kapoor has been roped in as a showstopper, which means you got to prepare yourself for an extravagant and dazzling collection.
The finale is also expected to give the audience a glimpse of Canadian entertainment company, Cirque du Soleil's Bazzar.
It's one fashion show you'd want to book your front row seats for!
Most of the shows will take place at Mumbai's St Regis, however the final show is slated to be performed at Sahara Star.
2. #PlanetPositive collection
Lakme Fashion Week has always tried to break free from the ordinary and celebrate diversity.
Keeping up with the theme, LFW, which has given us some extra-ordinary shows over the years, will be present an Indian oriented #PlanetPositive collection.
Designer Rajesh Pratap Singh and international sustainable fibre brand Tencel will reunite for the second time for the collection.

5. Narendra Kumar's plus-size range
The designer will be presenting his first-ever plus-size range in collaboration with aLL Primero.

His collection offers a variety of styles like athleisure, day and evening wear.
