London Fashion Week is the first of the four global fashion weeks. LFW takes place twice a year in February and September, showcasing over 250 designers to a global audience of influential media and retailers. It is estimated that orders of over £100m are placed during LFW each season.

Nivedita Saboo was one of the few Indian designers at London Fashion Week. With the label foraying into the global markets, the focus of her LFW collection was to assimilate market trends and fashion newer designs that resonate with a more universal audience. Blurring the boundaries of art and fashion, Nivedita’s debut collection for LFW UNLEARN made her retreat to the inception of a designer’s journey as an artist. She explored the basics of colour, shape, texture and lines through the artistic expressions of visually impaired children. The collection was well-received globally and was featured in Vogue UK.
