 Aiming to re-tag conventional titles and redefine the rules of fashion in line with Lakme’s philosophy of #UnapologeticallyMÉ, the Manish Malhotra Diffuse collection will see a splash of game-inspired prints representing individuality, non-binary, fluidity and androgenous styles.

Commenting on the Lakmé Absolute Grand Finale and the showcasing designers, Harman Dhillon, Vice President Skin Care & Color Cosmetics at Hindustan Unilever Limited said, “We, at Lakmé, are excited to bring to you another season of Lakmé Fashion Week X FDCI. This season will be pivoted around our #UnapologeticallyMÉ campaign that celebrates fashionistas at work - accomplished Indian women who unapologetically embrace fashion, beauty and themselves in all walks of life; women who prove that prioritising beauty does not strip them of their substance. Partnering with celebrated designer Manish Malhotra, who is known for pioneering trends through his Diffuse collection’s signature aesthetic, we look forward to ourjoint endeavour to redefine the new era of beauty and fashion in the country.”

Through this show and with two icons of our industry, Lakmé and Manish Malhotra, we’re going to confront and challenge what beauty stereotypes and goals mean in 2023 and beyond. No apology for who you are and the makeup you choose, we are championing Unapologetically Mé for everyone, every day.”
