3. Veer Pahariya For Pawan Sachdeva’s RECAST

Veer Pahariya turned showstoppper for Pawan Sachdeva’s RECAST collection at the show. The collection explores how traditional Indian craftsmanship can evolve through contemporary design, moving beyond conventional forms to create a wardrobe that reflects the changing language of modern dressing.

4. Nitanshi Goel for SV by Suneet Varma

Nitanshi Goel stunned as she became showstopper for SV by Suneet Varma at Lakme Fashion Week. She looked beautiful in a wine-coloured fishtail lehenga, featuring a strapless blouse with an attached drape at the front right side of the bodice.

5. Sanjana Sanghi for Shahin Manan

Sanjana Sanghi walked for Shahin Manan for her collection 'I Am'. In the collection, the structure met ease, with sharp silhouettes juxtaposed against relaxed proportions and familiar everyday forms. Jersey, suede, denim, Swiss poplin and cotton silks came together across the collection, creating contrasts in weight, texture and movement. Denim emerged as a defining element, grounding the collection in something recognisable while unexpected proportions and material combinations pushed it into a more individualistic space.
LFW 2026 was a reminder that the future of fashion in India is deeply rooted, fiercely personal, and unafraid to imagine.
