Manish Malhotra's Kashmiri Collection At WIFW

Ace fashion designer Manish Malhotra brought glamour and style on the third day of WIFW. He showcased his Kashimiri inspired 'Threads of Emotions' collection at the ongoing Wills India Fashion Week Autumn Winter 2013. Phulkari embroidery from Punjab was used by Manish Malhotra in his designs and models walked the ramp showcasing his best outfits from the Threads Of Emotions collection.

While talking about his Threads of Emotions collection, Manish said, "Last 2 years I have promoted Kashmiri thread and zari work and chikankari work from Mijwan, a small village in UP. Will India Fashion Week is just the beginning. The idea is to promote thread work from Punjab and focus on craftsmanship and showcase it at various fashion weeks by roping in celebrities, thus making it more popular and in turn influencing more people to wear these handcrafted pieces."

Manish has mixed the weaves of Bagh and Phulkari into his signature styles in autumn/winter colours like rich mustard yellow, navy blue, deep rust, earthy olive and intense red. The primary fabrics used are georgette, net and raw-silk, and there is a lot of texture work.

As expected, Manish Malhotra's show was a starry affair. Esha Gupta, Sidharth Malhotra, and Jacqueline Fernandez added celebrity glamour to the glitzy fashion show. The celebrities looked gorgeous in Manish Malhotra's designed outfits. Lets take a look at Manish Malhotra's Threads of Emotions collection at WIFW, 2013.
