In recent Lakme Fashion Week Winter /Festive 2011, 87 Indian designers participated but the younger designers were not very happy with the way the business preceded.
The designers took part in Lakme Fashion Week for branding more than anything else. But they did not get a great response in comparison to last year's Lakme Fashion Week mentioned by a Kolkata based designer.
Even the Delhi based designer had the same opinion that business was just okay this time and not very great. The existing buyers did come to Lakme Fashion Week and place some orders but local buyers could not been seen though the festive season was around the corner. Delhi designer claims that he did only half the business in Lakme Fashion Week compared to last year.
