"The collection this time is French collection, called "Le'amoureuse" (the beloved) and who else is better than Kangana to wear the final outfit. She is a dear friend and is perfect as my muse. I have worked with her in the past, she is a very versatile person and the collection is also very versatile," Manav told PTI
The designer, who will be showcasing his collection on the last day of the upcoming Amazon India Couture Week 2015, said the variety which Kangana has shown in her on-screen characters truly represents his creations.
The celebrity favourite designer said his collection this time is a departure from his signature style.
"Everything is very French in the collection. It is quite a transition from what I normally do. I wanted to give a different feel. I think every designer should evolve and not keep showing the same thing again and again in a different colour," he said.
"In couture, I do red carpet, I do evening wear, bridal and high-end day wear. The segment which I will be showcasing, will be more of red carpet, formal evening wear, formal day wear and people will see a different signature style of mine," the designer said.
Amazon India Couture Week 2015, is geared up to see a lot of celebrity showstoppers this time, but for Manav there will be only two queens ruling the ramp this year.
Apart from a lavish set with romantic French tracks in the background, the designer also promises the presence of celebrities in the front row.
"There will be a lot of support flying from Mumbai as well. Raveena, Sophie and maestro Amjad Ali Khan are coming. I make sure that all the people who love me are in the front row to give their support, as it is not possible bring all of them on the ramp at the same time," Manav said.
