Tarun Tahiliani Closes Lakmé Fashion Week With ‘Bejewelled’ as Aneet Padda Makes Showstopper Debut

The finale cast jewellery as cultural memory in an India Modern blend of drape with Western tailoring.

Overview

  • Lakmé Fashion Week x FDCI concluded on October 12 with the House Of Lakme Grand Finale presenting Tarun Tahiliani’s latest collection.
  • Aneet Padda served as the showstopper in a golden sequin saree-inspired gown that marked her first runway appearance.
  • The line opened with black-and-gold armour-like jackets, kimonos, and jewel-printed bombers before shifting to draped chiffons and satins in jewel tones.
  • Pearls appeared as belts, bags, and talismans, and the show crescendoed with metallic crushed tissues in dull gold, rose, and silver.
  • Tahiliani told ANI he sought to affirm Indianness through adornment traditions and commended Padda as a youthful, unjaded brand ambassador.
