Manish Malhotra’s offering at the
PCJ Delhi Couture Week 2013 was inspired by the opulence and affluence of 1930s
India, an era celebrating the influence of cross cultural ties in the field of
fashion, art and architecture. The designer
artistically fused Indian craftsmanship and embroidery with Victorian cuts and
silhouette in a colour palette of midnight blue, red, bright orange, beige, burgundy
and mustard.
Bodice with puff sleeves and daring
low neckline, Chantilly lace, voluminous floor sweeping gowns (married to
anarkali), velvet and corset were reminiscent of the Victorian era. Layered lehengas,
collared shirts,sheer anarkali for women
and bandhgala for men in velvet and silk, all generously yet aesthetically
embellished with intricate gold and silver work and vintage embroidery took us
back to the regal splendour of a bygone era.
For the show, Manish collaborated with Christian Louboutin to create an exclusive
line of ornate shoes for women and white metal toe brogue for the gentleman.
Though I am not in favour of celebrity
show stoppers which is becoming an overkill during fashion weeks in India ,
however I’ll be little partial here. WOW!!! Deepika was a vision in that
midnight blue lehenga with silver zardozi on it. The heavy diamond studded
necklace paired with full sleeve puffed velvet blouse looked spectacular on her.
