The upcoming Lakme Fashion Week is to showcase the collections of fashion designer Gaurang.
Gaurang is to present a collection of very old traditional designs of kanjevarams with kalamkaris at the Indian Textile Day which is to be held in Mumbai on August 5.
So far, the designer has only showcased spring summer collections where he used mostly khadis and kotas in whites. Well-known actress Kiron Kher has agreed to be the show-stopper for the designer at the fashion event.
Gaurang says the collections for the winter season will bring back the classic 1950 and 1960 look. His designs will highlight heavy kanjeevarams instilled with classic kalamkaris.
The five-day fashion extravaganza starts in Mumbai on August 3. Gaurang is to showcase 19 of his classic hand-woven collections.
Gaurang is the only Indian designer this season, who was invited to showcase his designs at the Lavera Showfloor at Kosmos on July 5, 2012 during the Berlin Fashion Week.
