LFW to give platform to diamond jewellery design talent

Mumbai, Jan 11 (IANS) The Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) has joined hands with Diamond Producers Association to identify and mentor Indian diamond jewellery design talent, who will be given a chance to showcase their work at the Lakm? Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2019 edition.

As part of 'The Real Cut', emerging designers associated with iconic jewellery brands will for the first time showcase their work at LFW in collaboration with emerging fashion designers, a statement said.

They will get an opportunity to showcase their work with designer labels Rara Avis by Sonal Verma, Verandah by Anjali Patel Mehta and Saaksha & Kinni by Saaksha Bhat and Kinnari Kamat.

The collaboration will showcase the versatility of diamonds and how they can be teamed with pret wear.

The designers, with experience of three to eight years, must demonstrate a combination of innovative design and techniques to celebrate diamonds. Winners will be chosen by jury members who will evaluate them on parameters ranging from quality, innovation, marketability, originality and ability to take their business to the next level.
