The Sustainable Fashion and Textile Day at Lakme Fashion Week is like no other with the runway hosting craftsmen and weavers; recyclists and upcyclists, unconventional models and revivalists while stirring up a real conversation on the unique landscape of fashion in dynamic India.

The show – Reincarnations introduced designers who are working with upcycling.

The design inspiration for Wandering Whites collection comes from metal junk – air conditioner coils, bolts, gas burners etc. which are then morphed into these stunning pieces.

Innumerable types of industrial waste generated in the world today that is irresponsibly discarded. Jambudveep‘s garments and shoes are delicately embellished with such waste.

Lakshmi attended a wedding in Hyderabad on Sunday wearing a Sailesh Singhania sari worn more in a lehenga style. Hair in a bun complete with mogra, her wedding outfit was finished out with a necklace from L. Bajrang and Pershad Co. Jewellers.

As much as I love the color combos and the sari itself, between the visible gold underskirt and the three-inch wide pallu cover, I really wasn’t a fan. The full-sleeve blouse here made the look feel rather stuffy. Glad she didn’t wear the earrings as well like she did in the pics that were taken before heading out.

P.S. Have you taken part in the Sailesh Singhania sari contest yet? Go here.

Face of NAC Jewellers, Trisha attended the inauguration of two of its stores recently, wearing a Sailesh Singhania sari to one and a Anushree Reddy lehenga to the other. Between the lehenga and the sari, it was easy to pick the latter as the favorite. She looked absolutely lovely in it.

As for the lehenga look, the way it pooled awkwardly at the hemline, made the look not so like-able. A higher pair of heels or maybe worn a wee bit higher on the waist might have worked better.

Which of the two looks do you prefer?

Rakul went for a traditional look in an orange sari from Singhania’s with jhumkis by Moni Agarwal. The draping and the bindi earned a two thumbs up from us! We loved it.
