Anamika Khanna opens fashion week with a chic collection

Anamika Khanna’s prét label AK-OK has always been a step ahead of the chic quotient and has set fashion trends each season. This season, she created a stylish stir during the opening show presented by Lakmé Fashion Week, in partnership with the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), with her eclectic and highly coveted line of clothing for women, as well as launched her much-awaited men’s wear collection.The opening showcase was hosted at the Fountain of Joy at the Jio World Centre in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex.
For the second consecutive year, the event was held at the Jio World Convention Centre. Located in the heart of Mumbai’s business district, Bandra Kurla Complex, the landmark destination is India’s largest & foremost venue for marquee exhibitions, conventions, and social events. The curtain raiser, ‘AK-OK by Anamika Khanna’ was the first ever fashion show to be held at Mumbai’s new iconic destination, the Fountain of Joy; which is a dedication to the people of Mumbai by Mrs. Nita Ambani.
The show set in motion the return to an entirely physical, season-fluid edition of Lakmé Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI scheduled from 12-16 October 2022. The five-day fashion season showcase will unfold through the Jio World Centre’s several transformative spaces in never- seen- before formats.
Against the backdrop of the dancing Fountain of Joy and the foot-tapping music by DJ Kayan, the show was a veritable feast for the eyes as the very trendy and exciting creativity of Anamika Khanna was visible through the line of garments.
Anamika Khanna, Creative Director, AK-OK said, “I am elated to collaborate with Fashion Design Council of India and Lakmé Fashion Week. My AK-OK story began at home and went on to travel the whimsical, yet relaxed road, making every journey its own, be it a draped dress, pyjama set, jacket, or the quintessentially timeless white kurta. The use of 3D floral shapes, fluidity in tailoring, contrasting with structure sometimes, uneven hems, use of soft fabric manipulations in chiffon, and embroidery in various forms, make this collection almost intangible.”
