Through the prism of colour
Manish Arora gives us a heady mix of tradition with an unapologetic quirky edge as his brides court iridescent hues with aplomb! By Asmita Aggarwal
Manishs Sensory Stimulation
What happens when you mix tangerine, purple, neon and pink with lots of gold? Easy! You get a Manish Arora outfit. Indian by Manish was an attempt to court the burgeoning bridal or occasion wear market by the maestro, who is known for his edgy, quirky style. So there was a grand set, with two elephant cutouts to welcome you; gravity defying matkas; his misty blue clouds; and in this medley there were also swans wearing maang tikkas.
Pink and gold is my weakness: Manish Arora
Brutally honest, insightful and edgy, Manish is set to showcase a line that celebrates India!
Manishs La Vie Boheme
Magnificent open to dome set, the longest ramp at WIFW, with glossy reflective surface, Sonam Kapoor looking smashing in a sari along with Neha Dhupia, it was a starry night to remember as Manish Arora took the catwalk by storm. Larry Harvey began the Burning Man project in 1986 as a way of self-expression in San Francisco in many ways it was radical, as a wooden effigy is burnt to symbolize a fight against society to allow freethinking in art. Inspired by this radical philosophy, Manish sent down hot pink bags and belts that cinched waists, peplum dresses and little golden hearts on blouses, as well as printed clouds which took you on a trip to the Arora wonderland.

A winning combination—-whistles, a cage lit up by tiny, fluorescent lights, and his business partner Deepaks wife model Sapna Kumar, opening the show, it was a memorable return for the maverick Manish Arora at the PCJ Delhi Couture Week.
