What would you call a fashion mega event with over 83 top designers participating from across the continent, 15 years in running and the shows getting better and bigger each year? You, me and the rest of the world would call it the LAKME FASHION WEEK 2015.
This celebration of fashion style and magnanimity came to a glorious end after 5 days of non stop fashion and a downpour of celeb power. The City of Mumbai literally came on a fashionable standstill with all roads leading to the LFW 2015. The saga saw participation from names like Manish Malhotra, Raghvendra Singh Rathore, Shivvan and Naresh, Anamika Khanna, Tarun Tahiliani and many more illustrious leaders from the fash frat. Bollywood came out in full support of the event with most divas seen on the runways and in the front rows cheering, posing and sashaying down the ramp for their favorite designers. Check out Exclusive lakme fashion week inspired wardrobe by PEACHMODE.

While a fine balance is needed to create a structured look, this year there was lots of mix and match with the rule of thumb.

Also, fitted cigarette pants could be seen with capes and asymmetrical tunics. The trend is surely here to stay!
