Lakmē Be-Jewel Grand Finale Tarun Tahiliani

Lakmē teamed up with designer Tarun Tahiliani to launch its latest beauty line, Lakmē Be-Jewel, at Lakmē Fashion Week X FDCI.

The runway came alive with sculpted gowns, flowing drapes, and statement accessories that played with shimmer, layers, and versatility. The collection reflected Tarun’s signature style of modern Indian luxury, combining fluid prêt pieces with bold accessories. The highlight of the showcase was the debut of TT Tijori, Tarun’s new fine jewellery line. The designs featured pearls, Swarovski crystals, Jadau work, and lab-grown coloured diamonds, creating looks that were dazzling yet elegant.

Adding energy to the show, Gen Z ambassador Aneet Padda made her runway debut as the showstopper in a beautiful corse draped ensemble in dull gold.

Ravi Bajaj

Ravi Bajaj presented his Lumina collection at Lakmē Fashion Week, showing his unique style for both men and women. The collection had two moods, starting with sleek black and then moving to vibrant jewel tones that stood out on the runway. Hand-painted textures, pearls, metallic accents, and luxurious silks added depth and creativity to the outfits. The iconic Ravi Bajaj women’s jackets returned, paired with boat pants and Shanghai-style jackets. Known for sharp cuts and timeless designs, Ravi blended western wear with bold yet refined embellishments. For Lumina, he added metallic touches, 3D accents, sparkling crystals, and playful tassels.

SV by Suneet Varma

Suneet Varma made a stylish mark at Lakmē Fashion Week with his first ready-to-wear collection, SV by Suneet Varma. The collection drew inspiration from the effortless glamour of the 1970s, channelling icons like Cher and Zeenat Aman. On the runway, models moved to the live music of King’s Code, showing off stylish jackets, practical shirts, flouncy skirts and dresses, and versatile coordinated sets. The colours ranged from classic black and white to soft beige with hints of gold. Lace, metallic fabrics, and sheer panels added a chic touch, while sharp cuts and subtle couture details gave the clothes both style and practicality.

Rina Dhaka

Rina Dhaka’s Spring/Summer '26 collection brought together tradition and modern style with elegance and bright, nature-inspired colours. Inspired by wood leaves, the collection used traditional crafts, plissé textures, embroidery, and even upcycled materials, turning waste into creative designs. The outfits had a natural, organic feel with hints of 90s fashion and Out of Africa nostalgia. The collection included wide-leg pants, unique trenches, creative knits, crochet, threadwork, and modernised cargo pieces. Made with eco-friendly fabrics and pesticide-free cotton, the line reflected a sustainable, farm-to-fashion approach while keeping it stylish and contemporary.

Taneiya Khanuja

Taneiya Khanuja’s collections are known for glamour, sophistication, and rich textures. At Lakmē Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI, she showcased Desire Dynasty, a collection that celebrated elegance and a royal sense of style. The outfits reflected heritage with a modern touch, blending luxury with effortless grace. Structured pieces showed confidence, while flowing drapes added a feeling of royal indulgence. The collection focused on lineage, legacy, and timeless fashion. The colours ranged from deep red, emerald green, and mocha to midnight navy, ivory, and black. Feminine and sculpted, the gowns, hourglass dresses, and her mix of prêt and couture created a striking impact on the ramp. Hand-embroidered florals and sequins added a touch of modern grandeur, making each piece stand out.

Naushad Ali, TIL and SWGT

Naushad Ali's latest collection, Continuum, explored this idea fully. Inspired by the meaning of the word – a continuous series where each piece is slightly different but connected – the collection played with movement and transformation. Coats draped effortlessly over shoulders, shirts appeared gradually on the ramp, and scarves shifted in harmony, each garment speaking its own language. The collection celebrated individuality, showing that fashion is a personal expression, not a uniform story. Naushad closed the show with layered, sculpted looks, sending a clear message: clothes should last, become heritage pieces, and carry stories for the future, not just follow trends.

Ankur Verma, who started TIL in 2022, presented Breathe, a collection that felt fresh and calm on the runway. Soft shades of white and blue, patchwork, and kantha stitch on handspun cotton, cotton silk, and organza gave the clothes a light, airy feel. The outfits were comfortable and layered, with jackets and separates that could be worn in different ways. A fun highlight was a small dollhouse made entirely from recycled materials, filled with tiny furniture and little details, bringing joy and playfulness. Breathe encouraged people to slow down, relax, and enjoy life.

SWGT by Shweta Gupta’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Look Closer, focused on careful detailing. She used soft mulberry silk, cotton from West Bengal, and Chanderi from Madhya Pradesh to make flowing yet structured outfits. The colours ranged from soft yellows and greens to sky blue, indigo, and subtle reds. Long coats, roomy bomber jackets, and airy dresses moved easily and felt light. Small details like frills, pintucks, crochet buttons, and handmade appliqués by women artisans added charm. Each piece invited the viewer to really take a closer look.
