The finale which will be held on October 16th, will commemorate iconic moments in the journey of the brand. Commenting on the show, renowned designer Rajesh Pratap Singh said “It is an absolute honour to be returning as the Lakmé Absolute Grand Finale designer this season.

Elated to have Mrunal open the show, he says, “This collection is my humble effort to marry a take on retro glam couture and soft glam makeup with Mrunal Thakur gracing the runway.
