The third day of Lakmé Fashion Week x FDCI was a dazzling display, with the fashion showcases being even bigger and better. Designers like Pankaj & Nidhi, Payal Jain, Mahima Mahajan, Ashish N Soni, and others, presented their collections with stunning celebrity showstoppers, from Tabu to Mrunal Thakur, showcasing their latest creations.
Starting the day off was actor-singer Kavya Trehan who strutted down the runway for Esse label's 'Threads in Motion' collection by talented designer duo Sahib Dang and Sunayana Sahni Malhotra. The collection note stated, "Threads in Motion unravels the anatomy of a knit; each loop, each knot, a silent storyteller. Inspired by the intricate language of indigenous Indian crafts, the collection weaves together tradition and modernity. Born from midnight creativity and morning grind, it celebrates the space between imagination and intention."

Kavya donned a stunning, figure-hugging skirt with a tantalising slit and a black form-fitting top. Her minimal makeup and sleek hairdo completed the look.
Kritika Murarka's collection drew inspiration from the intricate artistry of Mata Ortiz pottery. "Translating its geometric motifs, fluid bird figures and earthy patterns into contemporary textiles, the line reimagines heritage craft in modern silhouettes," the post read, adding that the collection is crafted in silks and cottons, featuring bold stripes, checks and hand-drawn prints.
