Radhika Apte to be showstopper for Kolkata designer in Lakme Fashion Week

The Lakme Fashion Week is a bi-annual fashion event with the summer-resort show taking place in April while the winter-festive show is held in August. This year the winter-festive show will be held from August 24 to 28. Apte will be wearing a bright-coloured lehenga since the show will be focused on beautiful India, it’s colours and contours, choreographed with the poetry of nature by Amir Khusro, the designer said.

“It can also be termed our tribute to a great name like Gulzar saab who has brought our lyrics and poems to a new level,” Jalan said

The signature style of the designer, whose works adorn Bollywood actors like Apte beside well-known models Lisa Sharma and former Miss Universe India winner Ushoshi Sengupta, is delicate floral patterns along with the use of Zardozi and array of hand-woven tusser silk and velvet enhancing the experience of the garments and “we will project the same in the Lakme week where the accent is on ethnicity,” Jalan said.

Supermodel Ushoshi, having recently debuted in the Bengali film Egoler Chokh, said “Lakme show reflects the different tastes of all leading Indian fashion designers who are still rooted to Indian heritage.”
