A lot was riding on the final day of Lotus Make-Up India Fashion Week Spring Summer 2019. It all came down to setting the right tone for the upcoming season. The finale went even beyond that and reflected the notion of inclusivity that we all were striving for this year. Here’s a glimpse into what all went down on day 4 of LMIFW:
Nirmooha by Prreeti Jain Nainutia
Rivaayat collection was an indigenous lineup, which was all about showcasing traditional art and handloom of India. Madhubani hand painting found a new canvas on modern silhouettes, while it worked as a beautiful contrast to woven linen sarees. Gauahar Khan looked fabulous in a contemporary desi avatar as she walked the ramp.

Dhruv Kapoor
Androgynous dressing never looked this cool! Dhruv Kapoor’s New-Butch collection was all about inclusivity and modern direction of silhouettes. The oversized, easy shapes took over the runway in form of ethnic patchwork print on Japanese silk, vivid stripes, industrial twills, and heavy-textured ta‑eta with vibrant handcrafted embroidery. Plus, those slouchy hats were quintessential summer.
