Lakme Fashion Week is arguably India's most aspirational, influential and glamorous fashion and lifestyle event which brings together India's most elite designers, celebrities, socialites, industrialists and sponsors. More than 40,000 visitors attend every event, consistently attracting heavy media coverage pre and post event. In addition, the event boasts the highest digital following for any fashion event in the world.

The event was conceived and created with a vision to 'Redefine the future of fashion and integrate India into the global fashion world.' It is organized twice annually across two editions 'Summer/Resort' held in February and 'Winter/Festive' which takes place in August. The fashion team at RISE strives to create a robust event that reaches out to a wide variety of stakeholders within the fashion ecosystem. This includes nurturing budding designers every season through the GenNext program which has seen the likes of Masaba Gupta, Rahul Mishra, Pero and Nachiket Barve come through to make a name for themselves in the Indian fashion industry.
