When hundreds of designers and models are put at task, the madness that follows is unbelievable.
Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2018, one of the largest fashion events in the country, begins August 22.
The five-day event, which ends August 26, will be held at the St Regis hotel in Lower Parel, Mumbai.
Rediff.com's Rajesh Karkera and Hitesh Harisinghani give us a sneak peak into the preparations leading to the big day.
Take a look.
Each designer has a line-up of models who will showcase his/her designs on the ramp.
A day in advance, each outfit is checked if it requires any last minute alterations.
