Shantanu & Nikhil Unveil ‘Velora’ Collection at Lakme Fashion Week

Designer duo Shantanu & Nikhil recently showcased their latest collection, 'Velora', at Lakme Fashion Week, celebrating modern elegance and timeless craftsmanship.

The event took place at The Grand Hotel in New Delhi and was attended by celebrities like Alaya F, Diana Penty, and Shibani Dandekar, who posed alongside the designers.

Inspired by the 1930s, the 'Velora' collection captured the cinematic charm of that era, highlighting the essence of femininity and a powerful presence on the runway. The focus shifted from menswear to an exquisite range of womenswear, featuring gowns adorned with shimmering details and corsets.

Each piece boasted intricate pearl work and metallic accessories, with a color palette that included black, red, gold, and white. Shantanu shared insights about the inspiration behind the collection, emphasizing the allure of the 1930s, a time when fierce and unapologetic women emerged.

Nikhil added, "This collection tells the story of a glamorous, sophisticated woman stepping out in her full glory, free from traditional constraints. The 1930s marked a significant shift for women, post-depression, where they began to embrace their identities fully."

Lakme Fashion Week commenced on Wednesday and concluded with a spectacular finale by renowned designer Tarun Tahiliani.
