Lakmé Fashion Week and Nexa have brought to the fore pathbreaking and inspiring innovations through technology and keeping up that momentum, they are all set to introduce India's first-ever ‘Nexa Digital Couture in association with Lakmé Fashion Week.’ Six celebrated and esteemed designers from the fashion fraternity will be bringing this concept to life.

Each designer—Abraham & Thakore, Payal Singhal, Amit Aggarwal,

Bridging the gap between the virtual and physical worlds, the designers can convert the virtual dress to physical on request or sell it as an outfit that can be worn digitally by the consumer.

We are extremely thrilled to bring Nexa Digital Couture – a neverseen-before innovation through our partnership with Nexa.
