The madness before the storm

Because there is no calm before Lakme Fashion Week begins! :-)

The days before the big opening are typically action filled.

Designers finally get to see what their clothes look like on models.

And models, well, they get to know what they'll be wearing!

Here's a sneak peek into the madness before the storm, courtesy Lakme Fashion Week's Instagram handle:

So what exactly has been happening?

We begin with designer Salita Nanda giving finishing touches to one of her garments.

Sheela Thiruchi, looking particularly cheerful!

Deepti Gujral getting ready to knock our socks off!

Alesia Raut knocking our socks off!

Kavita Kharayat returns to the runway after a break.

And MadSamTinZin's designer gets her model ready for the runway.

Then there's this beautiful crop top by Papa Don't Preach.

And these stunners modelling Gaurang Shah's designs!

This model gives us a glimpse of a bright and bold collection by Aarti Vijay Gupta.

And we wind up with models giving each other acting lessons! :-P
