Rohit Bal’s ‘Kaaynaat’ blooms at the end of Lakme Fashion Week

Rohit Bal made a striking return to the fashion scene with his latest collection ‘Kaaynaat: A Bloom in the Universe’ at the grand finale of Lakme Fashion Week X FDCI 2024. This marked his return to the runway, ten months after a significant health scare.

Renowned actress Ananya Panday, Lakme’s muse, graced the stage as a standout, dressed in a black lehenga and bralette set accented with red roses and deer motifs. Bal’s collection captures the wonders of nature through fluid fabrics, vibrant tones and intricate embroidery.

Described as a “poetic ode to nature”, the set reflects the blossoming of life and beauty, narrating the metamorphosis of a flower under a starry sky. The artistic finale celebrated the elegance of haute couture, merging fashion with art.
