A news by Vogue 

Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) returns for its winter/festive 2014 edition, held from August 20-24 in Mumbai. Whilst previous fashion weeks saw the Grand Hyatt Hotel as its venue,Mumbai's Palladium Hotel will host the event this year. Here's why you can't miss it.

1. A dual opening show: The week will begin with a show featuring both Amit Aggarwal and Masaba Gupta, designers known for their distinctive styles. The show will mark Aggarwal and Gupta's debut as opening designers and, also, the first time the two have shown together. With Masaba’s signature bold styles and Amit’s avant-garde take on futurism, the mix should be interesting.
2. The stellar line-up: Shantanu & Nikhil, Anita Dongre, Gaurav Gupta, Little Shilpa, Neeta Lulla, Payal Singhal, Anju Modi and more. Enough said.
3. A Manish Malhotra finale feat. showstopper Kareena Kapoor Khan: The last time they collaborated was in 2011, on the same platform. Taking his bridal trousseau one step further, Malhotra's collection wil be inspired by the 'gloss look' created by Lakmé. The designer will also partner with Lakmé make-up expert Cory Walia, to create the Lakmé Absolute Bridal Dream Team for fashion and beauty.

Debut showing of Australian and Pakistani designers: Renowned Australian design duo, Pamela Easton and Lydia Pearson, of the label Easton Pearson, will debut their collection at LFW, marking their entry into the Indian market.
