Sangeeta Bijlani Looks Absolutely Smashing!

At the Lakme Fashion Week x FDCI, several notable collections took centre stage, showcasing a blend of neo-traditional and fusion-wear designs.

Designers like Urmil, Simmi Saboo and Sanjukta Dutta captivated audiences with their unique narratives.

From heartfelt tributes, to the bonds between generations, to the vibrant allure of Kashmiri prints and the elegant expression of Assamese silks, each collection told a story of culture, artistry and timeless elegance.

This season captured not only the beauty of ethnic fashion but also its relevance in today’s dynamic world.

Sanjukta Dutta's Hepah… The Desire collection was focused on Indian handloom and modern art.

Inspired by the Assamese word for desire, the collection uses handwoven Assamese silks in both soft, neutral shades and bolder hues, and intricate motifs.

Each piece reflects a mood evoking a sense of longing through rich textures and patterns.

Sangeeta Bijlani -- who's a gorgeous 64 years old -- stole the spotlight.
