Vivacity

A holy show

Manish Arora

Manish Arora launched his website and made a debut with his collection in New York

Manish Arora is known for a rich palette of psychedelic colours and kitsch motifs in garments that combine traditional Indian crafts like embroidery, appliqué and beading with Western silhouettes. His garments graced the runway at the Indo-American Arts Council’s 15th Anniversary Gala at the Angel Orensanz Foundation for the Performing Arts.

Arora’s Holi Holy film also premiered at the gala. The film celebrates widows from Varanasi, the holiest of the seven sacred cities in Hinduism and Jainism through Holi colour and a vivid, eye-catching collection.

Exclusively.in, an online retailer for Indian fashion, presented ‘Indian by Manish Arora’ on the catwalk with the first-ever viewing of the collection. The debut celebrated the launch of Manish Arora’s online store, www.ManishArora.com. “It feels great to debut my Indian collection in New York City as we launch my website! New York is such a fun, hip and fast city. There’s no other place that screams accessibility than the Big Apple and we’re excited to keep the buzz going! With launch of website, clients can now buy my latest collections and collaborations from anywhere. This partnership with Exclusively.in pushes us right to the top of the online, mobile and social media world,” said Manish.
