Every year, on the eve of Fashion Week, we shortlist the designers we’re most looking forward to. This year is a tad different for the simple reason that LFW is in its 15th avatar, which implies bigger designers, bigger trends and a massive celebration of couture. Here is our list of the shows we’ll be lining up for first…

'Astrology Sphere' by Karleo

We were quite intrigued when we found out that Karan Berry and Leon Vaz would showcase their astrology inspired collection at the Jabong stage this year.

She presented a collection last time that made to our daredevil list. A bolder take on Indian garments is what we expect this time!

They played it practical with a twist, a collection we could easily wear for our post work affairs. We aim for the same this time around but in summery shades and perhaps some prints?
