Raw Mango, the creative vision of Sanjay Garg, opened Lakmē Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI tonight in New Delhi. Aptly titled ‘Children of the Night’, the collection drew inspiration from the enigmatic world that comes alive after dark, drawing from the haven of darkness. Presented at the landmark Indira Gandhi Sports Complex, the evening was an homage to the pioneering spirit of Lakmē, as it launched the ‘Glitterati’ collection. The showcase saw a constellation of stars descend at the venue – with Karisma Kapoor, Kalki Koechlin and Saba Azad walking the runway.

For the show tonight, Sanjay Garg creatively dreamt up ‘The Children of the Night’ and with his design energies paid homage to the Lakmē Glitterati range. It was a collection aimed at women who are confident, carefree and unapologetic, drawing inspiration from the enigmatic world that comes alive after dark. Sanjay Garg’s inspirations have always been many-fold and have emerged from powerful dance performances to surreal sculpture forms. A master creator of textile’s warp and weft, Sanjay’s expertise in woven fabrics was on show on the runway tonight. His garments displayed a clever mastery over drapes, surface embellishments and constructions that are precise, sharp and universally desired.

Each garment was a vision of design innovation, as a mix of silhouettes both simple or complex, traditional, or fusion appeared in quick succession in the show. Sanjay’s fashion sensibilities took on an unconventional path this season, as he unveiled ensembles that will prove to be timeless heirlooms and beautifully compliment the Lakmē Glitterati collection.

The grand show of Lakmē Glitterati with Raw Mango’s ‘The Children of the Night’ collection was made even more special with Karisma Kapoor, Kalki Koechlin and Saba Azad spotlighted on the runway. They each looked stunning in the Lakmē Glitterati looks and dressed in Raw Mango’s innovatively designed ensembles.

On the launch of the Glitterati Collection, Harman Dhillon, Vice President Skin Care & Color Cosmetics at Hindustan Unilever Limited said, “With the festive season around the corner, Lakmē has launched our Glitterati collection – a trendsetting innovation set to cater to contemporary beauty preferences, providing innovative and versatile glitter makeup direction. Lakmē Glitterati’s Opening Show with Raw Mango at Lakmē Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI, is a celebration of all things Beauty x Fashion. With innovations and a never-seen-before design language, Sanjay Garg’s avant-garde spin is a perfect complement to Lakmē’s newly launched range. Together, we are delighted and proud to have created an immersive fashion and beauty experience unveiling trending glitter makeup looks.”

Sunil Sethi, Chairman FDCI said, “Raw Mango has elevated weaves, giving them a contemporary makeover to serenade a wider audience.
