New Delhi [India], September 23:\u00a0 <\/strong>Lakm\u0113 Fashion Week, in partnership with the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI)<\/strong>, marked a decade of NEXA<\/strong> with an exclusive evening in Delhi. The occasion celebrated NEXA\u2019s long-standing association with the platform, its pioneering initiatives such as NEXA Spotlight<\/em>, and the announcement of an upcoming collaboration with designer duo Shantnu & Nikhil<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Spotlight Alumni Showcase: 10 Seasons of Innovation<\/h4>\n

One of the key highlights of the evening was a special showcase by Spotlight alumni<\/strong>, celebrating 10 seasons of the pioneering initiative by NEXA and Lakm\u0113 Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI.<\/p>\n

Since its inception, NEXA Presents Spotlight<\/em> has provided emerging designers with a platform to showcase their creativity and innovation. Over the years, designers such as Pella, Naushad Ali, SWGT, Bloni, Siddhartha Bansal, Countrymade, Paiwand, TIL by Ankur Verma, and Somya Goyal<\/strong> have been part of the program, gaining visibility and opportunities that have shaped their journey in Indian fashion.<\/p>\n

What began as a unique initiative has now evolved into one of the most respected launchpads for young designers<\/strong> in the country, offering mentorship, exposure, and an unmatched showcase opportunity.<\/p>\n

Shantnu & Nikhil Present Velora<\/em><\/h4>\n

Continuing the evening\u2019s focus on design and innovation, Shantnu & Nikhil<\/strong> unveiled a preview of Velora<\/em>, the designers\u2019 first-ever all-womenswear showcase in India<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Drawing inspiration from the Limited Edition Phantom Blaq by Grand Vitara<\/em>, they incorporated its enigmatic Phantom Black and rose-gold accents, creating a seamless synergy between automotive innovation and contemporary design.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the cinematic allure of the 1930s<\/strong>, an era that immortalised the red-carpet siren, the collection reimagines that spirit through the house codes of structure, drapery, and defiance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
