Overview
- péro opened Lakmé Fashion Week on Wednesday with 'Dream Dress‑Up', a Spring/Summer 2027 capsule created in official collaboration with Barbie and presented at Taj Palace, New Delhi.
- The runway was built as a life‑size pink 'Barbie dreamhouse' with live music, dancers and some models roller‑skating to give the show a theatrical, playful tone.
- Designer Aneeth Arora framed the partnership around imagination and play and translated those ideas into garments that mixed oversized shirts, crochet, lace and relaxed silhouettes.
- The collection fused Barbie motifs with Indian craft techniques such as mashru stripes, West Bengal checks and Banarasi details and included playful accessories like roller‑skate‑shaped purses and tiny Koodai bags.
- Dream Theatre facilitated the Mattel licensing in India and the show also spotlighted new runway faces and gender‑fluid styling, underlining a trend for inclusive casting and craft‑led global collaborations in Indian fashion.
