Before slaying the dazzling collection by Namrata Joshipura on the runway of Lakme Fashion Week, actress Malaika opened up about the significance of fashion in India.
For Malaika, India has always represented some amazing fashion, including embroidery and handloom crafts. She believes that such crafts should be promoted on global platforms so that Indian fashion can be put on the international map.
While speaking to ANI, she said, "I think I mean, for me, India has always represented some amazing fashion. We truly do some of the most amazing embroidery, its sustainability, and some of the most amazing artisans and Handloom come from India. So I think those are things that really need to be talked about, preserved, and put on an international map."
The 'Chaiyya Chaiyya' song fame star also shared her most comfortable outfit for daily life. She said, "My go-to would be a pair of blue jeans, white shirt, or my Reebok track pants."
Lakme Fashion Week 2025 kicked off on Wednesday. It will conclude this Sunday, with a lot of exciting fashion shows lined up.
On Thursday, Bollywood actor Karishma Kapoor stole the show as she turned showstopper for Satya Paul.
She looked ethereal in a monochrome belted sari. The 'Raja Hindustani' actress confidently walked the ramp as a showstopper at this fashion celebration in Mumbai.
While speaking to the media, she said, "I love Satya Paul's work....aap sabko pata hai mujhe sari bahut pasand hai, black and white bahut pasand hai..(I like sari and black and white colour). So, I am very happy. This outfit is bold and speaks of today's woman..."

Malaika never disappoints! That shimmer black outfit is 🔥 Love how she's using her platform to promote Indian crafts too.

Not sure about the athleisure trend at fashion week - seems like glorified gym wear to me. Though Malaika does pull it off better than most.

Karishma in that Satya Paul sari was my favorite look so far! Classic black and white never goes out of style.

Interesting to see Reliance's fabric tech being showcased. The industry needs more sustainable innovations like R|Elan 2.0.

Malaika's right about our artisans needing more recognition. Hope this leads to more global exposure for Indian handloom!
