Designer duo Shantanu and Nikhil brought the curtains down on the Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2019 edition with the showcase of their collection 'Recruit SR 19'. The collection included bold black and red gowns, saris, jackets and leather pants.
 

Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor Khan walked the ramp in an all-black tube gown for the designers as the showstopper at the grand finale which took place at the Sophia College in Mumbai.
 
Talking about the collection, Kareena said, "The entire collection is about women power. It's for and about women taking the lead. The concept is completely different. I believe in being simple and elegant and Shantanu and Nikhil's designs are a perfect blend of both.”

Designer Nikhil added, "It is always special associating with LFW and Lakme and showcasing at the Ultimate Finale consolidates the long-standing and beautiful relationship we have with them. Also, we used red as the primary colour to communicate Lakme's Matte Reinvent theme, which was our first experiment with the shade."
 
Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2019 took place from January 30 to February 3 at JioGarden, Bandra-Kurla Complex. The five-day fashion event had kicked off with a show by Gaurav Gupta.
