Posted by: Ms. Coco Queen

Hey all,

Hope you saw the first part of Manish Malhotra Couture Collection’14 {here}

Like every year and every season there are shows we always look forward to, Manish Malhotra is certainly ‘like always’ one of the designers where people come in flocks to watch the show. The show arena was filled inch by inch as people kept pouring till the last minute. Even after an hour from its scheduled start time, there were 100, if not more, people standing out side to get entry. That’s how crazy people get to watch his show. Well celebrities do get their piece of pie as well.
Three ramp set ups with twinkling candles and air smitten by the fragrance of mogra. The ambience was spilling romance all over. The walls were covered with empty frames depicting the theme of the collection – Portraits! And honestly unlike the last time I wasn’t disappointed!
Couture in India is misunderstood as just bridal wear. But anything that is constructed by hand from start to finish, made from high quality, expensive, often unusual fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finished by the most experienced and capable seamstresses, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques is termed as couture.

Manish Malhotra showcased a well balanced collection. Though everything was Indian (no gowns), the collection had something for everyone. Sisters and friends would also find lots to ponder for themselves!

The colour palette was demure and light. Shades of Brown, highlight being the beige with hints of pale pink, grapevine and granite here & there made the first capsule of the collection. Later Manish’s fav velvets in emerald & maroon made a quick appearance. Later came the red! oh yes-the bridal red. Modern bride had boycotted the old red and explored pinks and other colours but red for their d-day. Well Manish certainly wishes to get the red back and the entire bridal lehenga capsule of his collection was in colour red with gold zari heavy embroidery. BRIDAL Trend Alert.

Alia Bhatt & Aditya Roy Kapoor walked for Manish Malhotra. Where Aditya walked like a rockstar in sway, Alia looked poised {her skin is flawless!!}. After all the dulhania got her designer lehenga. “Walking for Manish is a dream come true” said Alia after the show.
