Up-and-coming fashion designers used satire as a method to the creative madness in their latest collections, calling for more social awareness among the masses. Sahib Dang and Sunayana Sahni of Esse and Anurag Gupta presented their latest collections at the 20th edition of the Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2019 on Saturday. Esse launched their line, titled 'Isn't it ironic', which was a extension of the label's pre-fall collection, called 'Why so offended'.

The show opened with acrobatic dancer Chow En Lai Phukan's mesmerising performance in high heels on the unplugged cover of The Police's hit "Roxanne".
