Celebrity fashion designer Manish Malhotra kick started India Couture Week 2021 with his collection titled ‘Nooraniyat’ inspired by amalgamation of moods and emotions of the bride.
Actress Kriti Sanon turns out to be inspiration for designer Manish Malhotra for this collection.
The Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) in association with Hindustan Times has scheduled the second, digital edition of the Indian Couture Week (ICW) 2021 from August 25-29, this year embracing the need for innovation.
The one thing that is certainly to be felt in any wedding are emotions. The coming together of the family, cracking jokes, sharing stories, excitement of the siblings and friends on dressing up, the first look of the bride and groom as they get ready to tie the knot and so much more.
Amid all these, bride’s emotion is something that cannot be explained but can only be felt. For every bride, weddings are purely special but equally overwhelming. She experiences mixed emotions along with excitement of beginning an endearingly new chapter of her life. She dreams of looking her finest at her wedding day and begins planning about her outfit right from a young age in her mind.
This collection celebrates brides in their original spirit and emotions that emanates their individuality in entirety. Weaved in fine craftsmanship and exquisite intricate elements, the Manish Malhotra Bridal collection 2021 is an enchanting medley of bridal glory sprawled across strikingly hued compositions where each ensemble narrates an emotional story of its own.
“My bridal edit is an amalgamation of moods and emotions of the brides and over the years of creating their dream outfits and interacting with them, I inadvertently got drawn into those intriguing memories and decided to capture it all – from their enthusiasm and joy to the heartfelt and compassionate, there’s a myriad of emotions and sentiments that are so heart-warming yet unsettling moments before she turns the page onto her new chapter. There’s some surreal magic adoring every bit of their feelings, transmitting you into a world only known to a bride. Whether you are of the new age, or not, the feelings remain the same, the happy tears nonetheless flow, and through it all, our collection that she adorns transcends her dreams into reality.” Says Manish Malhotra
Steering clear from trends, the collection takes pride in legacies of sacred reds, plush peaches, scintillating golds while the heart of it beats on its contemporary yet glamorous silhouettes conforming to modern pursuits.
The range is expansive with Manish Malhotra’s signature trails, sheer veils and layering drapes as they are most favoured, and perfect forms of extended silhouettes in bridal outfits, long enough to be trailing behind while the brides walk down the aisle in unparalleled elegance. The embroidery boasts of our age-old zardosi, badla, and of course our signature sequins on modern silhouettes.
