If I have to attend just one day of Lakmé Fashion Week (LFW), then it has to be the second day. Why? Cause it’s sustainable fashion day! I personally love the fact that a day is dedicated to indigenous weaves and sustainable fashion on a platform that’s recognised worldwide.
The showcase of homegrown textiles was brilliant on day two, and it was quite evident with the sarees that were presented yesterday. It wasn’t just the organic fibres used in the making of these fabrics, but the saree styles that the designers showcased for us were unique and rooted in India. Here are some of our favourite drapes that we spotted on the ramp yesterday:
1. Belted Drape At Khadi & Village Industries Commission Presents Anuj Bhutani
2. Jacket With Saree At Aavaran Udaipur
3. Cropped Top With A Printed Saree At Padmaja
4. Pallu Drapes At Maku
5. Monochrome Saree By Soham Dave
6. Frill Border Saree With A Buttoned Blouse At Ecovero x Abraham & Thakore
Though sarees alone don’t capture the true essence of a sustainable day. We even saw designers experimenting with indigenous fabrics and transforming them into contemporary silhouettes fit for the modern-day living. Here’s a glimpse of the sustainable day at LFW.
(P.S. There was a holographic show too! Swipe the gallery below to check it out.)
