Janhvi Kapoor graced the Lakmé Fashion Week 2023 runway as the showstopper for NEXA x Amit Agarwal, marking the end of day three of this prestigious event, which was presented in partnership with FDCI. The collaboration between NEXA and renowned designer Amit Aggarwal unveiled a unique and avant-garde prét collection titled “Core.”
Amit Aggarwal’s “Core” collection stayed true to his distinctive style while embracing NEXA’s ethos of ‘Create. Inspire.’ This prét line offered relaxed clothing options designed for those who seek fresh additions to complement their existing wardrobe. The collection featured a striking array of separates crafted from luxurious materials such as silk, cotton, and rubberized textiles. From shirts to tops, capes, and cleverly constructed jackets, the collection catered to stylish men and women worldwide. Drapes, intricate construction, innovative structures, and artistic manipulation of fabrics combined to create a compelling fashion narrative. Notably, the collection explored gender fluidity and sustainability through the use of upcycled materials.
The fusion of futuristic technology with contemporary designs was evident throughout Amit Aggarwal’s collection, aligning perfectly with the NEXA brand. The color palette drew inspiration from the metallic tones associated with NEXA cars, with black, silver, white, and blue dazzling on the runway. The silhouettes were meticulously designed to conform to the wearer’s body effortlessly, with standout pieces like a sensuous corset top paired with a draped lungi-style skirt in molten silver.

He highlighted NEXA’s focus on innovation, experimentation, and pushing creative boundaries, exemplified by their collaboration with Amit Aggarwal.
Amit Aggarwal shared his perspective, emphasizing the idea that fashion should not only adorn the body but also nurture the soul. “Core” invites us to rediscover the beauty in simplicity and reminds us that profound aspects of life often reside at our core.
The show reached its pinnacle when Bollywood star Janhvi Kapoor, the showstopper, graced the runway in a striking black draped gown with silver accents on the bodice, showcasing the new NEXA offering, INVICTO. NEXA’s INVICTO, a symbol of opulence and success, represents a new level of luxury.
