Bollywood actress Nushrratt Bharuccha dazzled as the showstopper for NIF Global 'THE RUNWAY' at Lakmé Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI. Her stunning presence marked the grand finale of a captivating fashion showcase, highlighting the innovative designs from various talented designers associated with NIF Global. Bharuccha, known for her versatility in cinema, effortlessly embodied the spirit of the collection, showcasing the fusion of style, sustainability, and functionality that the designs stand for.
NIF Global 'THE RUNWAY' was a celebration of diverse collections, each telling a unique story through fashion. One of the standout presentations came from Kritika Kachhara & Shruti Kotecha, whose collection Stitched in Motion was inspired by urban nomads. Crafted from a jute-khadi blend in neutral tones, the androgynous silhouettes embodied both comfort and self-expression, while incorporating Sashiko embroidery to reflect city textures—perfect for the modern, versatile individual.
Another remarkable collection was Arctic Voyage by Aanya Mutta & Krishna Thacker. Inspired by the Arctic tern, symbolizing freedom and resilience, this collection used cotton linen to create breathable and sustainable designs. The monochrome palette with striking red accents, paired with structured silhouettes and intricate details like pleats and pintucks, captured the essence of strength and elegance, making it a standout segment of the event.
The creativity didn’t stop there, with other collections like Shift by Bharti Goyal & Himanshi Garg, which drew inspiration from the architectural genius of Zaha Hadid. Using innovative materials such as TPU and PVC, the designs blended multifunctionality with bold color choices like cherry lacquer and retro blue, while Namrata Agrawal & Ankita Tiwari’s Nomadic by Nature presented a modern traveler’s dream with breathable, wrinkle-resistant fabrics. Each collection demonstrated the remarkable range and innovation that the designers, supported by NIF Global, brought to the runway.
