The show will take place on Saturday, August 25, at 12pm on the runway in a joint showcase with Half Full Curve and Vineet Rahul. Speaking about their inspiration for the collection, the designers said in a press release: “The Kaleidoscopic swirl of colour, the madness born through dancing without reservations, an unparalleled freedom of movement, the riot of prints that mimic her life – our collection pays homage to the woman revelling in Raas.”
 
Taking inspiration from the traditional dance, the collection will feature, “bold colours, playful prints, original embroideries, and mostly, a lot of fun,” according to the designers.

The collection will feature classic Bandhani, Patola, and Ikat prints but reimagined digitally as per the brand’s signature. The cane-weaving tradition of the Kotwalia tribe of Gujarat also features, being reinterpreted through metal and thread interweaving techniques.

Lakmé Fashion Week’s Winter Festive 2018 edition will run from August 22 to 26 in Mumbai in partnership with Nexa. Other sponsors include Etihad Airways, Nokia, INIFD, Smart Water, and Khadi India. Founded in 2000, the fashion week runs twice yearly.
