Pero's 'Out of Office' Collection Stuns at Lakme Fashion Week

Pero by Aneeth Arora brought the Fall-Winter 2026 season of Lakme Fashion Week to a close. The brand is renowned for its dedication to creating simple, practical clothing through the use of indigenous skills and a deep understanding of ancient textiles. Pero's collections are distinguished by their unique handcrafted textiles, which are produced by artisans from various parts of India, thereby carrying forward India's rich tradition of handmade artistry.

The showstopper, Aneet Padda, made a memorable appearance in a striking blue-and-white ensemble, layered with a short blue jacket and adorned with playful tassels. The collection itself offered a range of stylish and comfortable pieces, including flared pants, jackets, and overalls, evoking a sense of both routine and anticipated escape. The set design subtly referenced factory environments, with spectators seated on office chairs, symbolizing the mundane yet structured aspects of life.

Pero's philosophy centers on research and innovation in fabrics, utilizing traditional Indian techniques to craft couture that resonates globally. Since its inception in 2009, the brand has consistently focused on its USP: the creation of its own unique textiles across India. The 'Out of Office' collection, though themed around an escape, featured designs that could easily transition into everyday officewear.
