Mumbai and Delhi combined their fashion weeks for the first time in 15 years, for a six-day event that concluded on Sunday.
Held under the title FDCI x Lakme Fashion Week, the online-only showcase saw dozens of Indian designers and labels put their best digital foot forward with films and audience-free presentations taking the place of traditional runway shows in keeping with global trends.
From Bollywood favourite Manish Malhotra to couture designer Sandeep Varma's opulent bridal creations and the fusion aesthetic of Masaba Gupta, the collections were at once exquisite and well thought out.
Sustainable fashion was the order of the day, as designers looked to revive handcrafted techniques and employ eco-friendly fabrics, with many working with local artisans from all over India to preserve their textiles and techniques.
Mentorship programmes and awards were other heartening aspects of the event, which enabled young, emerging talents to display their design prowess to a wider audience.
