After a successful edition in New Delhi, the powerhouses of fashion & beauty in India, Lakmē , Reliance Brands Ltd and the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) are set to host its upcoming edition of Lakmē Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI at the state-of-the-art Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai from 13th to 17th March 2024. Lakmē Fashion Week X FDCI will be back with a line-up of designers, talent discovery programs for new and emerging talent, workshops, launches and more. The platform will be seen furthering its sustainability-led efforts while also continuing its focus on inclusivity and diversity and present the latest beauty trends in the country.
LFW is one of India’s premier fashion events, serving as a platform to showcase the latest trends, designs, and talents in the fashion industry. Established in 1999, LFW has evolved into an influential biannual event that brings together designers, models, celebrities, and fashion enthusiasts from around the world.
The show is known for its commitment to inclusivity and diversity. The event often features models of different ages, sizes, and ethnic backgrounds, breaking away from traditional beauty norms. This inclusive approach has garnered appreciation and sets a positive precedent for the fashion industry.
Lakme Fashion Week provides a dedicated platform called “Gen Next” to nurture and showcase emerging talent in the fashion industry. Young and promising designers get the opportunity to present their collections, fostering innovation and creativity. Many successful designers, such as Sabyasachi (

Mukherjee) and Masaba Gupta, have kickstarted their careers through this platform.
FDCI and Lakmé Fashion Week split in 2005, and Indian designers go divided between the two platforms, only to join hands again in 2021 and since then, the two leading fashion authorities in India have hosted remarkable shows and promoted impeccable talent in Indian fashion.
Here’s hoping the latest season will also be a memorable one.
