Lakmē Fashion Week, in partnership with the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), is all set to return for its 2025 Delhi edition, scheduled from October 8 to 12, 2025, at The Grand, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi.

The Mumbai edition earlier this year kick-started the platform’s 25th anniversary celebrations with a gala tribute to its legacy. It witnessed the participation of popular designers such as Anamika Khanna, Satya Paul, Mohammed Mazhar, Namrita Joshipura, Falguni Shane Peacock, and Rahul Mishra, among several others.

What made it truly spectacular was the presence of several stars on the runway, including Ananya Panday, Karisma Kapoor, Shilpa Shetty, Malaika Arora, Karan Johar, Tamannaah Bhatia, Ishaan Khatter, and Janhvi Kapoor. The event showcased India’s rich craftsmanship blended with contemporary designs, paving the way for a new creative economy and style narrative.
