Leading Indian fashion designer Manish Arora , is making his presence felt in the global fashion world
by featuring in H&M (Hennes & Mauritz) the Swedish clothing company’s style magazine Eye Mag’s summer edition. He is the only Indian designer to be featured in the magazine’s listing of the top eight designers around the world. These designers are expected to be the frontrunners in haute-couture and takeover the big fashion houses in the coming decade.
In Eye Mag’s fashion feature titled, “New Designers of the New Decade”, Manish Arora features prominently in the list of eight designers tipped as the favorite of the new decade. The others who come from various parts of the world include names like Joseph Altuzarra, Christopher Kane, Proenza Schouler, Rodarte, Louise Goldin, Alexander Wang and Damir Doma.
The writer of this article has commented that “Celebrated by fashion journalist Suzy Menkes from the very start of his career, Manish Arora has since become hugely popular in the Middle East. He is powerfully influenced by his Indian roots and his bright, beautiful, futuristic collections are so full of ideas, they seem to take on a life of their own.”
Manish Arora is a well-known name in India and this international coverage will further increase his popularity in the global designer wear world. He is known for a rich palette of psychedelic colors and kitsch motifs, in garments that combine traditional Indian crafts like embroidery, appliqué and beading with Western silhouettes. Today, his label is available in 84 stores worldwide, and for the last five years he has collaborated with sportswear giant Reebok to produce the successful 'Fish Fry' line. |
