'Kabali' and 'Badlapur' actor Radhika Apte will be the show-stopper in the upcoming Lakme Fashion Week in the 'Gulzar' collections of a prominent Kolkata-based fashion designer.
"We have been working with Radhika since 'Majhi the Mountain Man' days (2015) and she will be flaunting our fabrics as show-stopper in India's premier fashion show which is keenly followed by Bollywood," the well-known city-based woman fashion designer told media after a fashion show in a city hotel last Friday night.
The Lakme Fashion Week is a bi-annual fashion event with the summer-resort show taking place in April while the winter-festive show is held in August.
This year the winter-festive show will be held from August 24 to 28.
Radhika will be wearing bright-colored lehenga since the show will be focused on beautiful India, it's colours and contours, choreographed with the poetry of nature by Amir Khusro, the designer said.
"It can also be termed our tribute to a great name like Gulzar saab who has brought our lyrics and poems to a new level," the designer Saroj Jalan said
The signature style of the designer, whose works adorn Bollywood actors like Radhika beside well known models Lisa Sharma and former Miss Universe India winner Ushoshi Sengupta, is delicate floral patterns along with the use of Zardozi and array of hand-woven tusser silk and velvet enhancing the experience of the garments and "we will project the same in the Lakme week where the accent is on ethnicity," designer Saroj Jalan said.
Supermodel Ushoshi, having recently debuted in the Bengali film 'Egoler Chokh', said "Lakme show reflects the different tastes of all leading Indian fashion designers who are still rooted to Indian heritage.
