Through Gen Next, LFW has made a significant contribution towards shaping the future of the Indian fashion industry. I am looking forward to mentoring for the second time this year.
Anita Dongre – The New Mentor
The six designers who were selected by the Lakme Fashion Week advisory board include – Arunima Majhi, Kristy De Cunha, Neha Agarwal, Surbhi Shekhar who will be mentored by Anita Dongre.
Every year few designers are hand-picked by the advisory board for the “Gen Next” Program and train the fresh talents in the fashion world. Each year the winning designers are mentored by an ace designer, this time being Anita Dongre. The Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive will be from 20-24th August, 2014.
A thorough screening from a total of 150 applicants and further from 30 finalists are distinguished by eminent fashion designers, fashion editors, and others picking designers based on quality, marketability, hard work, innovation and the strong zeal to take their designs to the next level.
The Gen Next program has also seen some famous designers such as Masaba Gupta, Archana Rao, Aneeth, Rahul Mishra and so on.

Below are some tips that were offered by Anita Dongre on her fashion forecast for spring. Continue reading!
Spring Fashion Key Elements
1. Crop Top
We all saw and wore the crop top this spring. We graced the upper half of the body with crop tops during the season. They looked classy and best when paired with a wide – legged, tribal – print pants, aka Palazzo’s. Sheers instantly indicated that spring was in.Digital patterns were versatile and could be easily translated into varied shades and styles that complemented the personality.

2. Skirt / Maxi Fashion
Summer and spring is always about long skirts and dresses. Maxi skirts and gowns dominated the runway, hinting a fashion forecast for spring and summer. Her fashion forecast perceived skirt as a major spring fashion element, and we definitely saw it during the season, didn’t we?

3. Monochrome returned with a bang
Do you remember last monsoon we discussed much about monochromes along-with neon trends? The monochromes were back once again with a bang. Statement jewelries were seen all through the season – be it statement necklaces or tacky turquoise earrings.

4. LBD – A fashion staple
The classic LBD wasn’t left behind either – A cotton or linen black dress with minimum accessories saved me this spring. Diamond stud earrings were my favourites as they offerd the best look.
