The latest Lakme Fashion Week x FDCI was a stunning celebration of Indian aesthetics and craftsmanship.
This year’s event showcased a vibrant array of designs that highlighted the rich heritage of Indian textiles and innovative techniques.
And it culminated with Designer Rohit Bal’s luxurious ode to the rose in the grand finale.
His carefully curated ensembles were poetry in motion -- symbolic of timeless luxury and the beauty of nature.
