The first big fashion event of the year started off with a bang in Mumbai. Lakme Fashion Week Summer Resort 2017 is undeniably one of the most loved galas in the country and brings in a vast array of designers showcasing their latest collections on the runway.
The star-studded event also witnesses a footfall of superstars from Bollywood who grace the front row as well as the ramp for celebrity designers. Day 1 of LFW wasn’t any different. Young guns of B-town like Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor, and Sonakshi Sinha already made an appearance on day one and many other big names are expected to be seen as the event goes by.
