From a modest Swarg in the 90s to ravishing Rangeela to collaborating with Bridgerton actress Charithra Chandran – Manish Malhotra has been the most significant catalyst in the evolution of on-screen fashion. Being in a super dynamic industry change has never frightened him. “One can be inspired by trends; what matters is how you make your world in the ever-changing algorithm trends,” he defines this change, “it is always exciting to build something new every day while ensuring you never diverge from your aesthetics.” Delve further into our conversation….
Another revolution that you brought is in redefining the quintessential garment of Indian wardrobe - Saree!! From sensuous shimmer to playful necklines, you reinvented the Sari for the younger generation. Share with us your idea behind this? I love intricate sequin work on chiffon sarees, my absolute favourite! It gives the outfit a fluidity to make anyone look shiny, lustrous, and strikingly fabulous. Be it classic monotone red or an ombre sequin swathed saree. Chiffon sarees are my foundational signatures. Everything about chiffon romanticises the timeless ensemble with the dramatic fall, subtle sheen, and effortless pleating and draping of the saree and its beautiful effect on the screen. Moreover, I have young clients who love to rock a saree, so I feel sarees, in general, just refuse to retire for all the good reasons. The airy material makes for a lighter and more desirable fabric to play around with. When encrusted with colourful sequins, the aura intuitively uplifts to a celebratory mood.
