Abraham & Thakore at Lakmē Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI

Abraham & Thakore closed Sustainable Fashion Day at Lakmē Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI on October. The brand presented a vision of iridescent men’s and women’s fusion wear, made using numerous recycled materials.

Celebrity Shefali Shah opened the runway show wearing an all-black shimmer saree paired with a long-sleeved blouse and a black belt. The collection explored ideas of dystopian opulence and took materials often discarded then used them to create glamorous evening wear.
 
Abraham & Thakore laser-cut sequins from discarded X-rays and used them to add sparkle to dresses and formal separates. The brand also used recovered film and unspooled cassette tapes to create embroidered embellishments and even incorporated toffee wrappers, bin bags, kitchen foil, and rice sacks into the collection.
 
“Finding Beauty asks audiences to reflect on how we consume, and what we value- using wonder and awe as twin tunnels of transformation through which cement sacks emerge as evening gowns,” announced the brand in a press release. “Abraham & Thakore transforms the familiar to gloriously strange, and the strange to the gloriously familiar. This is high-fashion that despite being glamorous, sheds all pretensions of fancy.”
 
Lakmē Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI runs from October 9 to 13 in New Delhi. The fashion week features presentations from brands including Péro, Antar Agni, and Payal Pratap among others.
