Manish Arora Collection F/W 2009

Manish Arora

This winter Manish ventures into the wild, creating a fantasy world of enchanted and mythical creatures. He explores the mystery of the jungles, imagining an alternative universe replete with flying dolphins, leopard butterflies, white peacocks and four legged birds. Manish has used CRYSTALLIZED-Swarovski Elements as a Key element to bring alive the magic of the jungle in these inspirational ensembles.

The silhouettes range from cropped and knee length jackets, form fitting dresses, square back tops, belted high-waist trousers, waist coats as well as pegged and sharp pencil skirts. Symmetrical shapes and geometric forms are pre-dominant features of the collection.

The textures are achieved with innovative techniques that integrate CRYSTALLIZED-Swarovski Elements with hand-cut square embroidery; intricate applique as well as rich surface details using hand embroidered three-dimensional motifs. Manish renders visually stunning themes through embroidery inspired by butterfly wings, animal skin patterns and wild flowers.

The colour palette this season comprises hues of green, brown and black with accents of pink, white and yellow. The fabrics used are silk satin, silk velvet, felt and leather. Manish also creates his special signature prints in vivid colours with graphic art.
