Manish Arora: Life Is Beautiful
Renowned for dazzling designs in a rainbow of colours, Manish Arora has brought the talent and craftsmanship of India’s rich sartorial history to the global forefront, earning international acclaim on runways across three continents. Designing in India since the 1990s, he made his international debut in 2005 in London and just two years later began regularly showing at Paris Fashion Week. Arora’s glittering garments celebrate extravagant expressions of self through varied materials, techniques, and silhouettes in a triumphant union of Western and Eastern aesthetics adapted to today’s multicultural society with a touch of humour.
