Festive collection for the season: Indian by Manish Arora

Latest from the stables of the prominent Indian designer is ‘Indian’ a deliciously contemporary and festive collection that coincides with the launch of Arora’s second store in Mumbai’s Kala Ghoda area. Directed at the wild and free spirit of the modern Indian woman the collection takes inspiration from the vibrant, kaleidoscopic traditions of as diverse regions as Russia and Turkey. Combining Banjara Mirror work from Rajasthan with Pointillism, a painting technique that uses colourful dots, and drawing in the elements of Russian imperial art crowns and palace interiors from Istanbul, the collection is a veritable feast of arts and colours, a delight for the senses. To take it up a notch, Arora has added glow-in-the-dark elements to the dresses. The entire collection comprises 35 outfits and is just perfect for the festive season!
