The Lakme India Fashion Week 2004 was held in New Delhi from 27th April to 3rd May. 57 leading designers showcased their collections, which were brought to life by 50 leading Indian Models.

Lakme India Fashion Week 2004 continued to focus on The Business of Fashion, and showcased two collections Prêt-a-Porter (ready-to-wear) and Diffusion (a line between ready-to-wear and trousseau/couture). The objective of LIFW 2004 as in the past was to create business relationships and to facilitate a dialogue between designers and trade buyers and media and to bring Indian Fashion and Designs on the forefront. This year the theme was "Join the Fashion Movement".

There was lot of excitement and interest in the Indian Fashion Design Industry from both domestic and global target audiences. Hence, it became imperative to concentrate on the Fashion Design element and so the case this year was more emphasis on Designers, their collections, Models and Hair & Make up etc.

As always Lakme India Fashion Week 2004, aimed to serve as an effective platform to promote Indian Fashion Design and provides industry professionals with the opportunity to form trade linkages within India and abroad.
