Manish Arora preview Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2010
Blurring shapes and forms teases the eye as Manish Arora radiates optical illusion for the Paris Fashion Week SS 2010. A collection inspired by geometry he uses circles, squares and triangles, thinning the line between reality and imagination.
Manish says the idea behind ‘Geometry’ is to give a more mature inspiration to fashion which is not restricted by rigid boundaries but allows flexibility for creative interpretation. The fashion zeitgeist today is to look forward in fashion and where fashion forecast shoots into a futuristic world.
The collection sparks from the glamour of a bygone era which includes 80’s inspired dresses, short skirts, summer jackets, sheer sequined pants and tops and transcends to a new world. The designs have exaggerated epaulettes, padded hip details and geometric three-dimensional detailing. The prints and graphics in the collection are also inspired from the Kundali art. The colour palette is largely black orange, white, grey and ombres with an attention grabbing burst of neon colours. This collection also pronounces a new Manish Arora without fuchsia pink.
The designs interplay with different forms and materials which crystallize into innovative surface texture with metal chains, cluster sequin embroidery and hand embroidered appliqué. Manish uses fabrics like georgette, silk chiffons, crepe, cotton-satin, net and knits, thus puts together a collection that is ahead of time and yet commercial.
