The prestigious platform is gearing up to bring to the fore a spectacular line-up of designers, including new, emerging, and established talent, and present the latest beauty trends in the country.

The event will open with a Grand Show on 10th October at an offsite location which will see the coming of an iconic Indian designer and his interpretation from Lakmé’s Glitterati collection and will be presented by Lakmé, FDCI, and RBL.

Since its inception in 1952, Lakmé has been a pioneer in beauty x fashion and has occupied an inimitable vantage point in the cultural fabric of India.

This season, once again, Lakmé Fashion Week x FDCI will bring a tactile representation of the brand’s inspired festive spirit on the runway in New Delhi. Inspired by the brand’s new collection, the theme - ‘Glitterati’, is an equal parts reminder and an invitation to let a touch of sparkle do the talking this Winter-Festive season. In a first, the upcoming edition will see Lakmé unveil a series of makeup and skin trends.

The two Lakmé showcases for the season will be the Lakmé Glitterati show on 10th October and the event will culminate with the House of Lakmé Grand Finale on 15th October, marking the homecoming of an Indian designer, whose work over the years has transcended cultural and geographical boundaries. The designers will be announced subsequently.
