BlackBook — India's Luxury Insider Magazine - November 2016

In this issue

In our wedding special issue, on the cover we present designer Manish Malhotra, who celebrated half a century last year and completed 25 years in the industry at the same time. He has always had his eyes on the road ahead. Couture has flourished in India because of our larger-than-life wedding industry. While much of the attention has been focused on the bride, the Indian groom is literally on a high horse now. He has access to bespoke designer couture and accessories, a far cry from visits to his local tailor and ready-to-wear threads. He can pamper himself with manifold grooming options and nary an eyebrow will be raised. Even baubles aren’t the bride’s preserve only; the groom can preen as brightly as a peacock on his wedding, and in this issue we look at men in the spotlight.
