The fashion extravaganza will provide a bigger platform this year to boost business.

CEO of event organiser Lakme Lever, Anil Chopra, said to news agencies, "In an endeavour to drive the business of fashion and meet the demands of ever increasing buyers, The Source, the business hub at LFW will be completely revamped. This season will see an increase in the number of designers exhibiting as well as designer and buyer related activities throughout the day."
