Manish Arora's collection creates magic
at WIFW
New Delhi:
Manish Arora's collection on the theme 'Warrior' stole
the limelight at the fashion week with models in ensembles
embellished with crystallized Swarovski. The collection drew
inspiration from the shapes and forms of knights, Samurais,
armour and other military attire to create a dramatic signature
style. "Warriors in my fantasyland. It was from gladiators
to lions, to eagles to crystallised Swaroski elements to ollaboration
with many-many brands. Big international brands like Walt
Disney to collaboration with Japanese artist called Tanaami,
to collaboration with Indian artist called Subodh," said Arora.
Tapestries and prints from the 17th century Baroque period
with motifs like the lion head and eagle infused with contemporary
art were popular motifs in his collection. The collection
explored new techniques of embroidery to achieve unique textures
and embellishments in his collection. The 11th edition of
the WIFW yet again promises to be a grand affair with nearly
84 designers and 40 shows. The five-day event, which got off
to a rollicking start in New Delhi on Wednesday, is being
held at the Pragati Maidan, a sprawling trade promotion complex
in the heart of the Indian capital. Fashion extravaganzas
like the Wills India Fashion Week provide a platform for the
designers to directly interact with the buyers and do good
business.
