Designer Anavila Misra will showcase her ‘Dabu’ collection as the opening designer at the upcoming edition of Lakmé Fashion Week in partnership with the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI).

The designer’s showcase will kickstart the ‘Atelier’, a space which will include several experimental presentations and shows.

Commenting on her showcase, Anavila Misra said, “Dabu is about creating beauty through mud. This collection brings forth the relationship between not only the art and the artisan, but also a deep, symbolic bond between human beings and the earth they stand on. I am thrilled to showcase and bring my designs to the centre stage at an esteemed platform like Lakmé Fashion Week X FDCI.”

Jaspreet Chandok, head of Rise Fashion and Lifestyle (show organiser) added, “The Atelier is an experimental space that allows designers to use the platform to express their creative vision through formats that go beyond the usual runway showcase. We are thrilled to have Anavila as the opening designer at the Atelier this season, helping set a very high benchmark for all presentations that will follow in this unique showcase area.”

Lakme Fashion Week X FDCI is scheduled to be held from March 9-12 at the Jio Gardens in the city of Mumbai.
