More than 800 movies and numerous striking designs later, designer Manish Malhotra is celebrating 30 years of his incontestable relevance in Bollywood.
He was among the first in fashion design who actually worked on launching a structured role in the Hindi film industry.
For his celebration show, and to mark at this milestone year, the veteran designer chose Bollywood's superstars Kareena Kapoor and Kartik Aaryan.
The show was inspired from the many moods of life in a kaleidoscopic form. His collection walks through Spring in sorbet shades and intricate embroideries which sits ideal for destination and all of 2020 summer weddings.
Manish’s collection saw a heavy dose of mosaic and architectural influence with mirrors, sequins, 3D patterns and holographic accents. Volume sleeves, compact blouses and tiered flared added to the drama of the outfits.
This collection took a detour from the traditional red to embrace all the pastels and dreamy tones of ivory. The embroidery was the highlight, this time in structures of scallop, argyles, pillars and cubes. The collection also features the label's signature Kashmiri thread work. —TNN
