Bollywood's favourite designer Manish Malhotra's grand finale was a starry affair
Now this is what we call a grand finale! Celebrity designer Manish Malhotra put on a stunning show to conclude the Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2017. And no suprise there, that it was yet another star-studded show by the designer. While Jacquelline Fernandez and Aditya Roy Kapur turned showstoppers, it was a starry line up for the front row of the show as well.
The designer thanked his showstoppers Aditya and Jacqueline for joining him on the show."They are stunning and I want to thank them for saying yes. They were generous enough to adjust their schedule and take out time for me and the show." While Aditya looked dashing in a black, velvet one-button jacket with a contrast black embroidered lapels, Jacqueline looked gorgeous in a long-sleeved, embroidered, net floor- skimming creation, over micro shorts. "It is the third time I am walking for Manish and it is always great. What is different this time is that for the first time I am wearing a suit, otherwise he has always dressed me in Indian wear. It feels great to be here," Aditya said. Jaqueline added, "It is a pleasure to walk for Manish. He has been so humble and kind always. He is great person by heart and I love collaborating with him always."
Titled "Tales of Indulgence", the show marked Malhotra's plunge into bespoke tailoring. The bespoke men's wear had the characteristic stylish vibe, the designer is renowned for. For the first time the colour palette for a Manish Malhotra collection involved extensive use of black, white and chrome. The bespoke suits had the attention-grabbing details and designing. Baggy pleated pants with rouched ankles, long velvet coats with peak lapels, embroidered lapel jackets, velvet smoking options, collarless jackets with embellished sleeves and double-breasted velvet numbers with fur emphasis on the shoulders were interesting additions. Jackets were sharply cut and were morphed into long evening coats with attached scarf detailing. Lapels were discreet with black being the favoured colour. The fabric choice was varied with strong masculine textures of wool, velvet and silk textiles. "It's been a great association with LFW for so many years. Last month my label completed 12 years and it is just beginning of many new things. For the first time we have used blacks and chromes and introduced cocktail dresses for women. To match the formal wear men's segment, Malhotra offered his women an assortment of evening and cocktail creations in various fabrics along with handcrafted embellishments.
The show was attended by an array of Bollywood stars including Sridevi, who came along with her younger daughter Khushi, Karan Johar, Shabana Azmi, Sushant Singh Rajput, Tiger Shroff, Disha Patani, Richa Chadda, Dia Mirza, Karisma Kapoor, Amrita Rao Ladak, Sonali Bendre, Sooraj Pancholi, Kiara Advani, Neha Dhupia, Pooja Hegde and Shriya Saran.
