Founded by Rashi Anand in 2012, over the years, Fashion for a Cause by Lakshyam has brought various prominent designers, celebrities, and other prominent individuals from diverse fields under one roof, to raise funds for the education of less-privileged children.
Kickstarting 2024 on a celebratory note, Fashion For A Cause by Lakshyam will have Rohit Bal, Shantnu & Nikhil and Varun Bahl present their collections at the event on February 11th at National Craft Museum, Pragati Maidan New Delhi.
Celebrating 12 years of Lakshyam, Rashi Anand, started the NGO at the age of 21, with the motive to uplift children and women of at-risk communities through education, employment, and resource mobilisation.
Speaking about what’s special this year, Rashi Anand says, “Every year we aim to take care of the education of 100 kids and this year we gave ourselves a target of 200 kids. We are doing the show after 1.5 years and we also did miss having our shows during covid too. This time we were able to collaborate with the best of fashion designers and brands along with FICCI YFLO [Young Ficci Ladies Organisation].”
