Nitin Bal Chauhan showcased his collection ‘The Outsider’, which is inspired by 1940s French novel L’Etranger (The Stranger) by Albert Camus.

 Akaaro by Gaurav Jai Gupta presented a collection titled ‘The Sky Is Mine’ which was inspired by a trip to Paris and the colour ‘International Klein Blue’ created by French artist Yves Klein.

 Commenting on the first-ever ‘FDCI Innovators’ showcase, Sunil Sethi, chairman of FDCI in a statement said, “At FDCI, we are constantly working towards and launching initiatives that bring to the fore, some of the most talented designers and labels in the country. Both these designers have shown promising fashion moments in the past and have distinct perspective on the idea of fashion and design.”

Gaurav Jai Gupta said, “My last show was in 2017. I started my career with FDCI, so being part of the FDCI Innovators showcase made it even more special. It felt like life has come a full circle.”

Nitin Bal Chauhan added, “It doesn't get bigger in this country - Lakmé Fashion Week X FDCI is the best platform and with the best talent. So, we wanted to bring in our best notions to surprise the audience with something refreshing and new so that it doesn't get dull and boring.”

Lakme Fashion Week X FDCI celebrates day one as the ‘Sustainable Fashion Day’ where designers showcase their sustainable collections.
