Another season of Fashion is here with Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2017 which is going to be held in Mumbai and like every year it is going to be quite a celebrity studded affair. The five day pageant will be St Regis Hotel in the city with some of the most prominent designers showcasing their latest collection during the event.

The grand finale is by Manish Malhotra, who incidentally also closed the India Couture Week in Delhi, recently with Ranveer and Alia as the showstoppers. Let’s see which Bollywood stars are going to glamourise the runway this year. Nargis Fakhri and Dia Mirza have already been on the news for being one of the many stars set to appear.

The second day is sustainable fashion day which, for me, is the most important of all. Several designers have been roped in for the day especially young ones, which is very exciting as the future at least seems bright.

Anyway, here is the schedule for the shows, for those who want to keep track.
