NOTHING X Amit Aggarwal
A regular at Lakmē Fashion week, the visionary Indian fashion designer, Amit Aggarwal's eponymous label is an interplay between couture and sustainable innovation. Everything about his show was about future of wearable art.
The benaras brocades infused with contemporary designs and with his signature handwoven polymer, Aggarwal unveiled a luxe prēt collection for featured structured yet fluid silhouettes.
Rahul Mishra
Inspired by the dream-like worlds of Henri Rousseau, fashion designer Rahul Mishra's collection, AFew (Air, Fire, Earth, Water) masterfully turned the surreal landscapes into handwoven textures, intricate details, and vibrant hues with craftsmanship for the wearable art.

Shivan and Narresh
Designing pair, Shivan and Narresh's collection doesn't belong in the suitcase-its for the sun and the sea, away from the hedonistic revelry. Reimagining their iconic Leger Leisure print in artful strokes, effortless glamour, one that screams breezy yet bold, Shivan and Narresh's collection at LFW 2025, was sun-kissed homage to Fernand Leger.
From yacht-ready co-ord sets, sheer tank and swim shorts, the runway was colourful, fun, and classy.
Falguni Shane Peacock
Falguni Shane Peacock's collection was nothing shirt of high-octane glamour. Sculpted suits, gothic roses, and razor-sharp silhouettes dominated the runway of power dressing at LFW 2025 xFDCI. It was almost reminiscent of rockstar meeting royalty.
A masterful fusion of travel, couture, craftsmanship and contemporary directions, Falguni Shane Peacock's trade mark feathers on overcoats and other ensembles added glamour and edge to the collection.
Shantnu and Nikhil
A nod to the regal maharajas, Shantnu and Nikhil's collection was a sharp salute to power dressing, where European elegance met contemporary Indian craftsmanship. From sharp tailored bandhgalas, flowing sherwanis and deconstructed draping, S&N's collection Piazza Nova partly evoked old-aristocracy, partly new-age warrior.
The Boys Club
'The Boys Club' at Lakmē Fashion Week is a chance for young disruptors in fashion to rewrite menswear playbook, proving tailoring is far from predictable. Three menswear designers Anurag Gupta, Linetribe designer Gaurav Jagtiani, and Abhishek Gupta's Roy Calcutta presented unique aesthetics, which were refined and rebellious.
Anurag Gupta
Inspired by E.S Escher's artwork, Anurag Gupta's Metamorphosis presented an avant-garde collection. The textures of the garments were intricate, as they at times, evoked the quiet strength of the earth. The silhouettes moved languidly into varying shapes and forms to create a perfect masculine balance.
Roy Calcutta
The latest collection was a fashionable journey into the mediaeval era of Bengal that was dominated by Nawabs. The collection“Nawabs of Bengal” was a themed couture line.
The silhouettes of the kurtas and bundgala jackets were in rich velvet that was intricately woven with the beautiful zardozi and jamdani floral and geometric designs and motifs.
Linetribe
The “Monolith” collection by Gaurav Jagtiani for his brand Linetribe looked at the future for inspiration at Lakmē Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI.
Gen Next
Launchpad for new faces in Indian fashion, this year lineup included Abhishek Shinde's Abhichiq, Somya Lochan's Quarter, and Yash Patil's That Antique Piece .
Abhichiq
Abhichiq’s collection, Ciao, is inspired by Sicily’s radiant sun, rustic charm, and Mediterranean allure. A celebration of artisanal craftsmanship and the joy of getting dressed, the collection featured handwoven textiles, hand-block printed and hand-embroidered fruit and floral compositions to curate a summer wardrobe with a touch of adventure.
Quarter
The theme of Somya Lochan's brand Quarter at the 25th year of Lakme Fashion Week was 'Dichotomy of Loss’ that evoked the deeply personal nature of grief through garments.
