Harper’s Bazaar: You have been in the fashion industry for over three decades. How do you continue to stay ahead of the curve?
Manish Malhotra: Staying ahead in a dynamic fashion industry is undoubtedly a challenge, but it’s also what keeps me motivated. I am committed to innovating with new designs and techniques, ensuring my designs resonate with diverse audiences worldwide, not just in India.
HB: Tell us a little more about your latest collection?
MM: The Bridal Couture Collection is a reflection of my enduring appreciation for timeless hues, seamlessly merging with classic tones. Drawing inspiration from nature, the collection incorporates elements and textures to create pieces that exude comfort and serenity. The silhouettes are a harmonious blend of conventional and contemporary, featuring elaborate trails, head veils, and statement blouses adorned with hand-embroidered techniques like zardozi, aari, Kashmiri, thread-work, and taban.
HB: You entered the beauty category in 2018 and high jewellery just a few months back, what prompted you to enter these markets?
MM: Diversifying into the beauty category and entering the high jewellery market were natural progression for me. I believe that jewellery is an essential element that completes and transforms an ensemble, offering a holistic luxury experience. Recognising the central role of jewellery in Indian weddings, I ventured into this category to create an integrated statement for a “Manish Malhotra Bride”, viewing jewellery as a reflection of individuality, love, tradition, and heritage.
HB: Since new categories are an extension of your brand, how do you ensure that they are uniquely Manish Malhotra?
