Rohit Bal brings the curtains down at Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2016 with a breathtaking grand finale

Ethereal and divine, spectacular and stunning, grandiose and glamourous, dazzling and majestic, I can go on and on about Rohit Bal's breathtaking, royal grand finale to conclude Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2016. The collection was inspired by Lakmé’s beauty statement for the season ‘Illuminate’. What added to the impact was the befitting venue - Mumbai’s iconic St. Xaviers College that was illuminated beautifully and the 3D mapping effects projected on the beautiful heritage structure were absolutely mesmerizing. I am still not over what I saw that night despite it being a good 4 days since the show. That's the kind of awe-inspiring impact the experience has left on me and I am going to show you just why I say that. I am sure by the end of this post, you are going to be using exactly the same adjectives to describe the spellbinding collection :) Lakmé’s alluring brand ambassador, Kareena Kapoor Khan was the showstopper and that was just the perfect conclusion to the season.

While each piece of the collection was a masterpiece that had been made with meticulous detailing and attention , my favourite was the Ivory and subtle Gold range as those are perfect summer colours!

My favourite beauty looks from Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2016 and backstage buzz experience

Lakmé India is a brand women in this country swear by since the last 50 years. It was the country's first cosmetic brand to introduce make up to Indian women and has constantly striven to evolve, experiment and innovate to keep up with all the trends globally. I remember when I had to buy my first lipstick, my mom made sure that it was a Lakmé lipstick, that's the faith women have in this brand. Lakmé has kept up with being fashionable forerunners by also bonding with the largest fashion event of its kind in the country, the Lakmé Fashion Week. This Summer/Resort 2016, Lakmé unveiled ‘Illuminate’ as the beauty statement for the season with their new Absolute Illuminate Range, a specially crafted range of illuminating makeup and skin care products. The whole focus at fashion week was to create the ‘Illuminate Look’ for the runway where the range was used to enhance the beauty and luminosity of the models, to increase the impact of the collections being showcased by the various designers.
