HDIL Couture Week: Manish Malhotra
The first pictures from Manish’s shows are out and as much as I would like to diss Mr. Malhotra, I am actually liking what I see. The more I see this collection I am convinced that Mr. Malhotra should just stick to what he does best! Good ole ethnic wear…

Lovin it!
Lovee it, everything looks so rich and regal. Beautifull!
i love manish!!
lol payal y wud u want to diss him?
Love it! Especially the sari as thats the only garment I would feel comfortable wearing. Great colours too.
fopa,
Well, because of his last collection for LUX…
yes, good collection. but, i cannot help but notice the “sabyasachi” inspiration because sabya is one designer who mixes prints and colors fearlessly…manish’s mixture of textures, colors, prints reminds me of that. correct me if i am wrong.
on a separate note: p&p congrats on your well deserved success and recognition….keep up the good work
Lovely colors and designs. But, I can see a mix of Ritu and Sabyasachi in this collection that is hard to miss.
It is far far far better than his old stuff (and I was waiting to diss him to) but his has a very Sabyasachi feel :/ (except blingier)
the sari is gorgeous
Love the deep hues! Will look nice on indian ladies :)
oo im loving it..hes usually so boring
yes.. he has a sabya feel, but i love the last creation and the color transition, so lovely and original..
i swear i couldnt believe this was manisha malhotra either.i always assumed he made filmy costumes..but this is the real thing!bravo..i am actually considering going and having a look at his collection next time im in india..
PS: s_star you are soooo right..
hes picking up sabyasachi..and no wonder hes a bullseye this time.
nice collection, it looked like an Umrao Jaan meets Pakizah kind of way…old world charm and old world glamour…
This is exactly the problem with MM…his clothes do not have an identity…..these garments look like the poor man’s sabya…
i wish he had got less ‘inspired’ from kolkata bong….
love it , esp the ones worn by gauhar and aanchal
I do agree – it seems very sabyasachi-ish.. however much more brighter colors and fabrics and loud – bollywood ishtyle.. whereas sabya’s stuff is more muted..
but overall i am craving one gorgeous anarkali after seeing this..
very pretty! Can’t help but notice the models are bare-foot.
Beautiful collection, very traditional yet contemporary….
and I love the blend of different fabrics and colors… :{)
Manish Malhotra, too overrated….
payal
thats true i didnt like that collection either
but u are right ethinic is his speciality
Hmmm.. very Ritu Kumar meets JJValaya look, nah?
sonam kapoor wore a lengha kinf od like the gree (no.3) to the saawariya premiere..was it manish?
