Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week 2011 - Manish Malhotra

Manish Malhotra stuck to his signature anarkalis and sarees but instead of velvet and gota borders, switched to thread embroidery and crotchet/lace borders. The color palette was mainly nudes with some yellow and blush. The thread embroidery was in bright vivid colors and provided a nice visual contrast. The fabric was mainly net with some khadi silk trousers. A light, frothy summer collection! Not sure why it was shown in Autumn/Winter fashion week - Go figure!!

Who do I see wearing this collection? Do I really need to answer this:-)

Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2011 - Manish Malhotra

Manish Malhotra ended the second day of the fashion week. His collection consisted of both men and women outfit and had beautiful Chikankari work as well as Karshmiri embroidery. The colors used were delicate summer shades of aqua, green, powder blue and ivory.

The womens collections consisted of voluminous lehengas and anarkalis paired with tights or palazzo style pants. The use of net fabric and rajashtan gotas was predominant in his collection.

Each piece was exquisite and very wearable and my favorite is the second oufit in the last row. However, the net and gota combination as well as anarkalis has been done to death by Manish and I really wish to see something new from the highly talented designer.

Who do I see wearing his collection? Every actress worth her salt. sigh...

Lakme Fashion Week, Winter Festive 2010 - Manish Malhotra

Manish Malhotra's last collection that was shown in Delhi Couture Week 2010 was not well-received and was panned by critics. He redeems himself with this collection that closed day four of Lakme Fashion Week 2010. His collection was sponsored by Aircel and he used Aircel colors - red and blue as the building blocks. The look was luxurious all the way and clothes were decked with heavy embroidery, zari, crystals, sequins and brocade. He presented kurtis, anarkalis, lehengas and relaxed harem pants. Manish continues to be in love with panels and gota borders:-)
I loved all the net saris and colors of this collection are really fabulous. Lots of potential red carpet looks..

Key Looks

Red Carpet Pics: I can see the Kapoor sisters and Aishwarya totally wearing these saris. The second sari, first row would look good on Vidya after she is surgically separated from Sabyasachi:-)

Style diaries

Who: Kareena Kapoor
Where: On the sets of Indian Idol5

I love sequins - they infuse any outfit with instant glamor. Kareena rocks the gold sequins blazer and avoids lookin like a Christmas tree by keeping the rest of her outfit very simple and causal. The perfect tailoring of the jacket also helps.

Who: Aishwarya Rai
Where: At "Robot" music launch

Gold at the hemline saves this Manish Malhotra anarkali from being a complete washout. Waist up, the outfit really doesn't have anything going for it.

Who: Sushma Reddy
Where: "Emotional Atyachar" music launch

The photographer really caught Sushma in an awkward pose:-) Anyways, for a min I thought she has something hanging from her waist...On closer inspection, it still looks like she wrapped a dead plant around herself. Nope, not feeling any love for her outfit..

Lakme fashion week Summer/Resort 2010 - Manish Malhotra

Manish Malhotra - not sure what to write here;-) The most famous Bollywood designer who made a very successful transition into the Indian Fashion world. Who can forget 'Rangeela'?

His Summer/Resort 2010 collection had two main themes- ribbons (which he put on saris and salvaar-kameejs) and a mish-mash ugly print (which he cut into various outfits). Nothing in the entire collection to make my heart skip a beat. And surprise, surprise, he did not have any celebs walk the ramp!! My picks:
