LakmГ© Fashion Week (LFW), India’s premier fashion trade event and pioneer platform in promoting business of fashion announced 74 designers and 12 sponsors for LFW Winter / Festive 2010 at Grand Hyatt, Mumbai.

This season the platform continues in this vein by providing an opportunity to showcase Winter/Festive collections.
With Winter/Festive 2010, LakmГ© Fashion Week further continues the strategic shift and increases its focus on the current season requirements, promoting business of fashion in the country.
