"We are excited about this season as we celebrate 15 years. There will be a mix of established as well as new designers. We want to redefine fashion with ace designers and encourage new talent as well," Purnima Lamba, Head Innovations Lakme, told reporters here.

There will be 100 designers this season including 21 debut designers, Lamba said adding 11 new models will walk on the ramp at this year's gala.
Ace designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla will open Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2015 and designer Gaurav Gupta will present the Grand Finale collection at an off-site location.
Established designers like Manish Malhotra, Ritu Kumar, Tarun Tahiliani, Neeta Lulla, Narendra Kumar and others will showcase their "best-ever" collection.
The "Reinvent Banaras" campaign will be launched to revive and celebrate the Banaras handlooms.
"We are looking to uplift Banaras handlooms with India's leading designers. We put focus on Banras handlooms through exhibitions, fashion films. We are lending our support by providing platform to designers to showcase their collection with the help from Banaras weavers," Saket Dhankar, Vice President and Head Fashion at IMG Reliance said.
