Mira Rajput Kapoor’s Beauty look for Lakme Fashion Week SR18

Lakme Fashion Week Summer Resort 2018 started with a bang on day 1. With colorful shows, sexy music, and adorable showstoppers, the day couldn’t have gotten any better. While Shahid & Mira Rajput Kapoor showed us some couple goals on the runway for Anita Dongre, Taapsee Pannu started a party on the head ramp of Ritu Kumar.

Bold prints, summer silhouettes and layering with textures are some of the trends that highlighted the first day of fashion week. Here’s a round of all the fashion on the runway along with the bonus—Shahid and Mira’s couple runway style.

1. Gen Next

This year’s pool of Gen Next designers left no stone unturned to woo us with their designs and vision. While BOBO by Ayushman Mitra experimented with a burst of colour and abstract prints, Helena Bajaj Larsen presented a fusion of Indo-western silhouettes with a metallic finish. Some inspired whites with a hint of quirky design by Mohammed Mazhar and brilliant silhouettes at Two.Two Studio made the entire Gen Next category worth the anticipation.

2. IKAI by Ragini Ahuja

We’re the girls who love to live in our denim and Ikai’s collection made us so happy! A sweet balance of denim with minimal layering looked fantastic with a pop of colourful streaks on the models. We can pick many pieces from Ragini’s collection as must-haves but our personal favourite was the cute crops.

3. Dhruv Kapoor

The show that inspired us to mix textures and prints was a sight for sore eyes. Dhruv’s collection showed us how to wear sequins in a low-key way and how to match florals with mettalics—Not your basic combos!

With some deep metallics and rich navy, Amrich’s experimentation with shine and textures certainly made a good impact.

The models with a white line smeared across their faces flaunted some lightweight fabrics like khadi and organza at this show and we really enjoyed the earthy drama!

We enjoyed the upbeat collection of Ritu Kumar with some catchy tunes in the background and trendy designs on the head ramp. To top it all Taapsee Pannu started the party with her fierce walk as the showstopper of the label.

10. Anita Dongre

The finale show of day 1 made us believe in fairy tales all over again with the adorable showstoppers Shahid and Mira! The hubby-wifey walked hand in hand and even did a twirl on the head ramp highlighting the beautiful line of Anita Dongre. We’re still dreaming about the show!
