I have only known this next designer for over 2 years but I am so impressed by his work that I had to tell you about him! Manish Arora is from India, and has been showing his collection every year since 2005 during London Fashionweek. I discovered his work watching and reading the reviews on Swarovksi Jewelryweek 2008 in London. So it's save to say that this designer definitely knows a few things about jewelry. His signature style is all about colors, playfulness and of course some more jewelry.
During the Paris Fashionweek he showed his new collection here are some images...
As you can see there's a lot going on with this collection. Again we see lot's of use of color, but not just random. The colors he uses for his garments are all soft-toned, his accessories have a golden, armourlook . There is also a very visible theme through out the whole collection. Looking at the whole image I get warrior feeling, a non-western kind. The beautiful applications on the head and lower legs are very interesting and remind me of something worn by a character from that movie Avatar. Of course he shows of all his craftsmenship and goes all the way in accessorizing his models!
The one thing that puts me off just a litte was that the collection kind of reminded me of something Galliano might do. Of course Galliano would take it to an extreme. No wonder they call him the John Galliano of India!
Here's a link to Manish his own website it's pretty funny! I just haven't figured out what the fried fish is about haha!
