His show, ‘Etihad Airways Presents Manish Arora’, will take the star-studded audience of Bollywood celebrities, lifestyle media and fashion lovers on a visual journey that spans the tribes of Africa and the outer reaches of the universe.
Known for his perceptive craftsmanship and inimitable play on colours – his trademark being pink and gold – Arora’s designs are inspired by Indian heritage but with a contemporary vibe.
“I am delighted to celebrate the 10th anniversary of my Paris collection ‘CosmicLove’ by showcasing it during Lakme Fashion Week. The line I am bringing to Mumbai is inspired by the tribes of Africa and outer reaches of the cosmos,” added Manish Arora.
Then he added, “Having spent 10 years of my working life in Paris after launching my career in Delhi, I have drawn much inspiration from my travels to the work I create. It’s wonderful to be associated with Etihad Airways, an airline I have admired and travelled with for so many years.”
Patrick Pierce, Etihad Airways Vice President Marketing Partnerships, said, “Working with esteemed designers such as Manish Arora strengthens Etihad Airways’ commitment to the fashion industry, where we are fast becoming the airline of choice. Our video is a unique portrait of Manish’s journey back to Lakme Fashion Week, one of the leading events on the international fashion calendar.”
