Byculla is the new fashion buzzword
This Lakmé Fashion Week, the focus of the chic set has shifted to the industrial mills of Byculla with many offsite shows being hosted there. Who would have thought of a runway show within the confines of these austere mills? Perhaps the clash between couture and the deglam setting makes the fashion week scenario even more exciting.

Sabyasachi opened his show at the iconic Richardson & Cruddas Mills followed by Manish Malhotra who chose the Great Eastern Mill - both located in rusty Byculla.
Now, the finale tonight by Anamika Khanna will be hosted at the artisanal Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum. The designer chose this venue as it befits the theme of the finale - Sculpt. It is Mumbai's oldest architectural marvel and complements the structure and symmetry of Anamika's high-octane aesthetic.
These locations add an unrivaled cool to the shows which is unmatched by the ramp shows held in any 5 star hotel. A bigger stage, a freedom to experiment with lighting, sound and choreography make it truly an epochal, multi-sensory experience.
