Lakme Fashion Week 2024: Where Fashionistas Feast
Fashion Week isn’t just about strutting down the runway—it’s also about satisfying the appetites of style mavens. The recent Lakme Fashion Week 2024 x FDCI extravaganza proved just that, as it seamlessly blended haute couture with haute cuisine.
A Feast for the Fashion-forward
As the ‘Kumbh Mela’ of style, Lakme Fashion Week 2024 brought together nearly 60 designers, both budding and seasoned, to showcase their latest creations. But amidst the glamour and glitz, food played a starring role, tantalizing taste buds and adding an extra layer of luxury to the event.
From the Runway to the Grazing Table
The fashion fiesta kicked off with Gen Next designers debuting their collections, setting the tone for five days of sartorial splendour. But it wasn’t just the garments that stole the spotlight—Manpreet Dhody’s I’m Wholesome treated attendees to a gastronomic delight with their grazing table.
A Symphony of Flavours
Dhody’s table was a symphony of flavours, featuring a variety of cheese infused with unique combinations like truffle shiitake, cranberry pistachio, bacon cheddar, and salmon cheese. But the indulgence didn’t stop there—guests indulged in peri peri bhutta tarts, hashbrown chaat, smoked salmon canapes, and sundried tomato chicken.
Desserts Fit for a Fashionista
The dessert spread was equally impressive, with melt-in-the-mouth treats like South Indian coffee mascarpone shrew and chocolate strawberry nibble cake stealing the show. Each dessert was not only delicious but also meticulously styled to appeal to the designer’s sensibilities.
I’m Wholesome: Making Waves in the Food Industry
Despite being relatively young in the industry, I’m Wholesome has quickly made a name for itself, catering to top brands and Bollywood personalities alike. With offerings ranging from grazing tables to gifting hampers, Dhody ensures that everyone, regardless of budget, can indulge in culinary luxury.
Sip, Savour, Repeat
To wash down the delectable delights, guests enjoyed cocktails by The Singleton, featuring innovative concoctions like the Turfy G&T and the Tropictini. With every sip, attendees toasted to the seamless fusion of food and fashion.
