Pretty pleats at Lakme Fashion Week SR17 were a major trend spotting. From gorgeous anarkalis to ravishing gowns, pleats dominated in both Indian, contemporary and western wear. Designers such as Nupur Kanoi, Urvashi Joneja, Ekam & Amrich heavily played with pleats in their collection.

Apart from bringing structure to the outfit, pleats bring a lot of grace and neatness. It can be experimented with easily, no matter what the texture of the material is. The look can raise it’s classy edge a notch or two, with the right use of pleats. Check out the best of pleat work we have seen on the runway at LFW.
