45 designers unveil 136 garments at LPU fashion week

The dream of showcasing designs on a prestigious runway became a reality for students of Lovely Professional University (LPU) at Fashion Week 2025.

The event provided a platform for 45 aspiring designers to present 45 ensembles, comprising 136 garments, crafted around thematic concepts such as regal embers, kolam, rangayan, sindhuri and divine feminine.

The students’ work was a blend of meticulous craftsmanship, sustainable practices and contemporary design, honouring India’s textile heritage. Their creations featured innovative silhouettes, intricate textile manipulations, and a sophisticated colour palette, seamlessly combining traditional techniques with modern aesthetics.

The fashion week also saw collaborations between emerging talent and established designers, with LPU students sharing the runway with names like Anjalee Arjun Kapoor, Sidharth Kakkar, Babi Grewal, and Chhavvi Aggarwal. Celebrity showstoppers Aparshakti Khurana, Sonal Chauhan, and Madhurima Tulli graced the runway, wearing both professional and student collections.

The LPU participation exemplified the university's commitment to experiential learning. Under faculty guidance and industry mentorship, the team of student designers, supported by backstage coordinators and models, managed all aspects of their presentation from initial concept development to final runway execution.

Dr Pavitar Parkash Singh, Senior Dean, said, “What our students accomplished here is the core of our educational ethos—transformative learning through doing. They engaged not as spectators but as collaborators in a professional ecosystem, networking with luminaries and executing a world-class production.”
