Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2017 won’t be over till the fat lady bling’s this year as Lakme & All The Plus Size Store is back to give plus size women & men an opportunity to sizzle at India’s biggest fashion event.

The auditions for the second edition of India's plus-size fashion show will be held on June 23 in Mumbai. Last year around 160 people had auditioned out of which 10 plus-size models, six women and four men, broke the normal trend and walked the ramp at the Lakme Fashion Week.
 
This year, the winners will get an opportunity to scorch the ramp and walk for veteran designer Wendell Rodricks new Autumn Winter collection at the Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2017

Wendell Rodricks who firmly believes that fashion should be for everyone irrespective of their age, color, size or shape is delighted with the concept and in a statement said that he intends to ‘break all the myths about colours and shapes for voluptuous figures at the 'aLL' show at LFW.
 
The competition will be judged by industry stalwarts including international model Liza Golden-Bhojwani; fashion designer, Wendell Rodricks; CEO, All The Plus Size Store, Hetal Kotak; fashion and lifestyle consultant, Neeraj Gaba; head of innovations, Lakmé, Purnima Lamba and head of fashion, IMG Reliance, Jaspreet Chandok.
