Westside is pleased to associate with Lakme Fashion Week to be held in March 2009. Internationally acclaimed designers Wendell Rodricks and Narendra Kumar along with Manish Gupta will showcase an exquisite Designer Prêt collection that will be available exclusively at Westside during the summer season.

Wendell Rodricks’ art designs which are natural and close to earth truly reflect the inspiration drawn from ancient India. Simple cuts, earthy colours and perfectly conceived light, flowing, fluid attires are his forte.

It brings designer wear closer to our customers. This association will allow young designers like Manish Gupta to not just showcase their creativity but also learn the business of fashion.
