Yet another Manish Arora sighting and this time it was at the 2009 BET awards on Alicia Renee. The singer wore a Fall 2009 Manish Arora skirt with a lace bustier with funky Manish Arora boots, also seen on the runway.

P.S. I tried to find more info on her and her music but didn’t succeed. Have you heard her music?

On An Aside: An Ode To Swarovski

Harpers Bazaar India has a spread with six designers paying homage to the Swarovski crystal and how it has influenced their design. We spotted Manish wear his blue kurta again for the editorial but what’s freaking us out is why only Bal channeled his inner ‘Joker’ while others were photographed as is.

You can check out the whole spread featuring the six designers here.

In Manish Arora

Sonam attended Day one of the IIFA 2009 festivities in a Spring 2008 Manish Arora dress which she paired with a B. Romanek envelope clutch (also seen on her in a black version here). She completed her look with a pair of pink pumps.

Now, this is a fun kitschy dress and I quite like it on Sonam, but the straightened hair is a put off as is her makeup. She probably wanted to offset the dress with simple hair but its Manish Arora! Run with the kitschy-ness!

Katy In Manish Arora. Again.

Singer Katy Perry was spotted in another Manish Arora creation(see previous here), this time wearing a peacock dress from the designer’s Fall 2009 collection. The designer himself was looking quite spiffy in a bright blue kurta with colorful sneakers. (am guessing are from the Manish Arora for Reebok collection)

I just wish that Katy would wear his designs in the US because I am sooo ready for a little ‘Arora’ invasion! :P (Or maybe not, I don’t want to not be able to afford his clothes anymore! ;) )

You can check out his Fall 2009 collection here.

Erykah Badu In Manish Arora

The latest to sport a Manish Arora was singer Erykah Badu who wore a blue dress from the designer’s Spring 2009 ‘Circus’ collection. Most of you ask whether the pieces shown on runway are sold as is in stores. Here is an example of how a piece is toned down for retail wear. I must add that without the frills, the quirkiness that is so ‘Manish’ is partly lost. Especially in this piece.

Thanks ‘HighSnobette’ for the tip-off!
