National 3.10.2024: péro, known for its delightfully whimsical take on Indian craftsmanship, is all set to open the next edition of Lakmē Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI on the 9th of October 2024 in New Delhi. Founded by Designer Aneeth Arora, this year also marks a special milestone–the 15th anniversary of péro.
Over the years, péro has come to be known for its fantastical storytelling told via intricately detailed, richly embroidered, handwoven textiles that lend a playful dimension to contemporary design.

Aneeth Arora, founder & designer of péro, shares her excitement, “I am so happy and honoured to celebrate péro’s 15th anniversary by opening Lakmē Fashion Week in partnership with Fashion Design Council of India. This collection, in particular, is very close to my heart as it is a celebration of our collective childhood nostalgia reinterpreted in our own quirky style. Think cottage core but with a twist.”

péro’s exploration this season will see its signature surface ornamentations and ditzy florals—all of which spark unimaginable joy.

Sunanda Khaitan, Vice President, Lakmē said, “At The House of Lakmē, we have been consistently re-inventing the fashionXbeauty landscape, shattering boundaries and uncovering bold new frontiers. The inaugural show of Lakmē Fashion Week in partnership with FDCI seamlessly aligns with our vision as a trendsetting brand.

We are thrilled to welcome her for the opening show, which is poised to spark trendsetting fashion conversations and will set a vibrant tone for the October 2024 season in New Delhi.”
