Review
A tribute to a self-confident and spirited woman, Manish’s ‘THE EMPRESS STORY’ weaves in the myriad nuances of femininity and reflects the designer’s passion for reviving bygone Indian craftsmanship.
The designer presented textured fabrics, voluminous gown-like silhouettes that could be worn as lehengas, trails of exquisite silk – lending the woman an air of majesty. The colour palette ranges from metallic silver and antique gold to rich burgundy, old rose pink, pearl grey and coffee brown in a three-dimensional embroidery, mushroom-flower and bird motifs in delicate threadwork.
The designer also shared a glimpse into the Men’s Collection, replete with structured jackets, trench coats and waistcoats, in hues of blue and black with a touch of intricate embroidery. Vintage glasses, bow ties and neck ties added a hint of dandy to the collection. The evening also featured handcrafted shoes for the gentlemen, marking designers first-ever foray into accessories.
