Disha Patani and Malavika Mohanan light up the runway for designers Amit Aggarwal and Anurag Gupta on Day 3 of Lakme Fashion Week 2026.

"Bringing 'Orizon' to life... was about capturing a moment of transformation. - Amit Aggarwal"

Mumbai, March 22

Actor Disha Patani turned up as the showstopper for designer Amit Aggarwal, bringing her signature boldness and charm to the spotlight on the third day of Lakme Fashion Week.

Dressed in the designer's sculptural couture along with Indriya's striking diamonds and emeralds, Disha appeared to have seamlessly blended tradition and modernity.

The actor walked the ramp in a stunning black ensemble paired with a blouse and a statement dupatta wrapped around her hands. She kept her hair tied in a bun with loose strands. For jewellery, Disha wore a layered diamond necklace with an emerald pendant.

On Day 3, Amit Aggarwal unveiled his latest collection, 'Orizon', marking a collaboration with Indriya.

The showcase began with refined diamond pieces in minimal compositions, capturing the first hints of illumination, gradually transitioning into statement Polki and gold creations. Also, jewel tones, reflective surfaces, crystal embellishments, and reinterpreted heritage textiles begin to emerge. As light interacts with form, the narrative evolves into one of confidence and self-expression.

Speaking about the same, Amit Aggarwal shared, "Bringing 'Orizon' to life at Lakme Fashion Week X FDCI was about capturing a moment of transformation. Conceived as a journey of evolution, seeing the collection unfold on the runway reaffirmed how craft continues to grow through emotion, innovation, and collaboration," as per the press release.

Closing the day with a dramatic finale, designer Anurag Gupta showcased his collection titled 'The New Primitive - Reclaiming Rawness in a Refined World', drawing inspiration from Japanese artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi.

The collection explored how natural forms and engineered structures could coexist within a refined fashion framework.

At the centre of the collection was a newly developed textile created from natural fibres and engineered using plasma technology processing. This advanced surface treatment enhanced the fabric's receptivity, tensile stability, and structural memory while preserving the tactile qualities associated with organic materials.

Actress Malavika Mohanan closed the show with her striking walk in Gupta's all-white ensemble. She was dressed in a structured, collared, cropped jacket layered over a crisp white shirt, paired with a matching asymmetric knee-length skirt.

The look was accessorised with a sleek black accent tie.

The 'Orizon' collection sounds fascinating, but I have to be honest – sometimes these high-fashion concepts feel a bit disconnected from what regular people can wear or afford. The plasma technology fabric sounds cool for innovation, but will it ever reach the common market?

Malavika Mohanan in that all-white structured look was a vision! So sharp and powerful. It's great to see Indian designers drawing inspiration from global art like Japanese prints and blending it with such advanced textile tech. Our fashion industry is truly on the world stage now.

As someone visiting from abroad, the craftsmanship on display is incredible. The way they're reinterpreting heritage textiles with modern technology is something you don't see everywhere. The collaboration with Indriya for the jewellery also shows a great attention to detail.

Love seeing our Bollywood stars as showstoppers! They bring so much glamour and energy to the runway. Both Disha and Malavika carried their outfits with such confidence. Can't wait to see some of these design elements trickle down to more wearable, affordable lines.

The description of the collection evolving from minimal diamonds to statement Polki is so poetic. It's not just clothes; it's storytelling. Amit Aggarwal's vision of "craft growing through emotion" really comes through. Proud of our designers pushing boundaries.
