Manish Malhotra dazzles at Lakme Fashion Week Summer/ Resort 2011
Mar 14, 2011 Fashion & Bridal Wear
For the WeddingSutra editorial team, Manish’s show was the one to look out for. And he gave us 40 gorgeous evening wear creations for men and women, beautiful Chikankari work as well as Kashmiri embroidery especially created in Srinagar and Jammu which Manish is keen on reviving. The touch of Rajasthani gotta borders on the swirling creations made them fit for bridal wear too.
Color palette was just right for Summer weddings- aqua, green, powder blue and ivory while for menswear, Manish stuck to beige, grey and navy. And no one does cholis better than Manish whether it is low sexy backs or the high collared variety. Other designers take note please.

Poonam Dhillon was elegant in green while Rekha sparkled and shimmied down the red carpet in a yellow and green silk saree with heavy jewellery.

A special shout-out to Dia for working the Gaurav Gupta couture sari and Prachi Desai for carrying off a baby-pink ruffle gown with panache. Love the side braid on Prachi, so girly yet chic!
