The ensemble Ananya was dressed in for closing AFEW Rahul Mishra’s new show at Lakme Fashion Week features a crisp white shirt with a collared neckline, front button closures, a relaxed silhouette, and full-length sleeves. To elevate the classic blouse, Rahul pinned three crystal-embellished dragonfly brooches on the bust, reminiscent of his Spring 2024 couture collection, which he showcased in Paris.
He styled Ananya’s white shirt with a tennis skirt featuring a mini hem length that showed off her long legs, a pleated design for a structured silhouette, an indigo blue border lining, and an A-line fit.
