Titled "Tales of Indulgence", the show marked Malhotra's plunge into bespoke tailoring.
The bespoke menswear had the characteristic stylish vibe, the designer is renowned for. For the first time the colour palette for a Manish Malhotra collection involved extensive use of black, white and chrome.
The bespoke suits had the attention-grabbing details and designing. Baggy pleated pants with rouched ankles, long velvet coats with peak lapels, embroidered lapel jackets, velvet smoking options, collarless jackets with embellished sleeves and double-breasted velvet numbers with fur emphasis on the shoulders were interesting additions.
"It's been a great association with LFW for so many years. Last month my label completed 12 years and it is just beginning of many new things. For the first time we have used blacks and chromes and introduced cocktail dresses for women. I'm really happy and thankful to everyone for giving us this opportunity," Malhotra told reporters post the show.
It was a breathtaking array of glitter, dazzle and glamour with crystals, sequins and zari along with giant beaded tasselled accents making dramatic style statements. Corsets were a popular choice, teamed with feathered skirts, slit gowns, ornate lehengas or as minis with long shoulder capes.
The designer thanked his showstoppers Aditya and Jacqueline for joining him on the show, which was presented by NEXA.
"They are stunning and I want to thank them for saying yes. They were generous enough to adjust their schedule and take out time for me and the show."
"It is the third time I am walking for Manish and it is always great. What is different this time is that for the first time I am wearing a suit, otherwise he has always dressed me in Indian wear. It feels great to be here," Aditya said.
Jaqueline added, "It is a pleasure to walk for Manish. He has been so humble and kind always. He is great person by heart and I love collaborating with him always."
