The fusion of fashion and artistry has always been a captivating spectacle at Lakme Fashion Week, and this year’s collaboration with the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) has been nothing short of an exception. On the fourth day, the spotlight was on some of the most captivating style moments of the season. Designer Ritika Mirchandani left everyone in awe with her exquisite Transcendence Spring/Summer 2024 collection. Bollywood Actress Rakul Preet Singh and Digital Creator Niharika NM graced the runway as muses for the designer. Let’s take a closer look at the standout looks from Day 4 that caught our attention.

Rakul Preet Singh took centre stage as the showstopper for Ritika Mirchandani’s collection. Dressed in a mesmerizing ensemble, she epitomized grace. She wears a chic bralette top paired harmoniously with a high-waist skirt. The pristine white top captivates with its plunging neckline and sturdy straps, while the accompanying black skirt commands attention with its daring thigh-high slit. Her ensemble is tastefully accessorized with delicate earrings, perfectly complementing her subtle makeup.

Meanwhile, digital creator Niharika Nm also made a striking appearance on the runway for the same designer. She set the stage aglow as the show’s opener, adorned in a glittering ensemble accentuated by powerful shoulders. Her look exuded sheer elegance, boasting a deep V neckline and a sleeveless hem. The exquisite detailing, employing unique texturing techniques with metal bulges and textured chords shaped into reconstructed florals, breathed life into her ensemble.

Completing her ensemble, Niharika adorned earrings and a bracelet on one hand, perfectly accentuating her look. Her stunning hair cascaded gracefully over one shoulder. Ritika Mirchandani’s Transcendence collection is a celebration of life’s raw beauty and complexity. Each step of the journey represents an attempt to unravel this complexity, revealing layers that resonate with life’s experiences. Through seamless integration of layering into the fabric, the collection achieves depth and dimension. Each layer is meticulously crafted, with mesh not only serving as the base fabric but also as the unifying thread, resulting in a harmonious interplay of textures and motifs. With commanding power shoulders and daring cuts, every garment in the collection is a work of art.
