It was all about glamour, fashion and star power at the grand finale of the fiver-day-long Lakme Fashion Week, where Ananya Panday brought the curtains down, as she walked the runway f﷽or renowned designer Rahul Mishra.
On Sunday night, in the grand finale of the show, Mishra show🔯cased a range of stunning ensembles from the AFEW collection christened ‘Sculpt’, where he drew his inspiration from the designer’s forever muse nature. AFEW stands for the four elements -- Air, fire, earth, water.
“This was my show in Bombay after almost 6-7 years, so it was like homecoming… When we look at the whole exerci༒se it was fun even at the studio. Everyone worked day and night for this collection,” Ra𝓰hul said.
Mishra turned sculptor as he elevated via Aari embroidery, hand sculpting, cutwork and patchwork. His garments took the limelight, but his showstopper Ananya Panday too looked stun🌄ning as she walked the ramp, with her parents Ch♓unky Pandey and Bhavna Pandey cheered for her from the front row.
Ananya said: “It feels great. This is the most fun I had walking on a ramp. I felt very easy and edgy walking. It was so much fun.” For Ananya, Mishra chose a black tube dress with flower patchwork on the side and a drizzle of sparkle. For the make-up, the actress went for a very “sculpted” look with the House Of 🦋Lakme. She completed her style with a sleek ponytail.
The actress added: “My favourite thing about Rahul’s work is that it's inspired by nature. He really knows anyone feels beautiful, the way his garments fit our bodie🦂s it almost feels it was made for us. I love that you bring awareness while portraying ꩵsuch beautiful collections.”
The grand finale was a star-studded affair as several celebrities such as Vijay Varma, Ali Fazal, Richa Chadha, Orry and Gulshan♉ Grover, among many others were sꦰeen sitting on the front row.
