Dia Mirza turns showstopper for Inca on day two. Inca’s latest collection allows the designer, and hopefully, the wearer, to just be. It is this thought that undergirds the collection: movement, dynamism and never being stagnant. The same is reflected in some of the ‘lazy saree’ pieces conceptualised.

With the unveiling of the 2024 Spring/Summer collection; ‘Recondite Freedom,’ Yavï set a new paradigm for discerning clientele, transcending the boundaries of conventional fashion with a symphony of mindful design and visionary artistry. From the vibrant hues of botanical prints to the bold strokes of impressionism, each piece invites the wearer on a journey of self-discovery and expression.

In ‘RAY’, Til’s latest offering the timeless allure of cottons and silks intertwine, elevating each garment with a luxurious touch and unparalleled comfort. You will discover a curated selection of gender-neutral clothing, characterised by relaxed fit silhouettes and a sense of effortless elegance. From mustard to rust, from black to ivory, each piece in the collection tells a story of luminosity and grace.

The resplendent hues of pink get centre-stage in Gaurang’s Lakme Fashion Week Spring/Festive collection Gulaal. Jamdani, Jaquard and Dobby are the dynamic weaving techniques used to create textiles in hand charkha Khadi, fine cotton, silk matka, and other natural silks. The lehengas and sarees from the collection are embroidered in long forgotten embroideries like Mochi, Parsi Gada, Petite Point, Kasuti, Phulkari, Kutch and Kashmiri. 

Designer Urvashi Kaur’s collection was a reflection of the past 15 years and a testament to her commitment to create safe spaces for individuals to express themselves authentically. A highlight of the showcase was the unveiling of Urvashi Kaur's latest collection, "Prana" explored the primordial energy through a visual exploration that transcends beyond the tangible. Reimagining ancestral heirlooms as new silhouettes, the collection revived these one-of-a-kind textiles, intuitive in placement, organic in movement and elemental in colour. 

Tea Cultures of The World x Chola take inspiration from a Japanese tea ceremony which is marked by basic 4 principles - Harmony, Respect, Purity and Tranquility. The show celebrated the fusion of fashion and tea culture, embodying confidence, individuality, and empowerment. Throughout the show, the idea was to weave a narrative of empowerment and self-expression, with models of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds on the runway, embodying inclusivity and authenticity.
