The movie became the turning point of Malhotra’s career and that was how the making of India’s fashion monarch begun. He is Bollywood’s favourite stylist, bride’s dream, transformer of the fashion industry, a runway trendsetter, a visionary magnate. The man can be called a lot more but he is and will always be Manish Malhotra who enkindles the haute couture, making it a living dream. Nothing more, nothing less.
A BORN CREATIVE MIND:
It’s been three decades of Malhotra’s costume renaissance and 15 years of his label. Still, the man stands strong running a million-dollar business. Maybe it was his calling or he was just born to create, the five-year-old boy, engrossed in movies, colours, costumes always was a style critic. “I used to comment upon my mother’s sarees. She was teasing me the other day that she would see my playing in the drawing-room and quietly walk out just to save herself from my comments. I had a habit of critiquing about her attire and recommend some different pairing of blouse and sandals that could go well with her saree.” Well, his mom wasn’t the only one on his radar, at the age of six he almost displeased his home tutor with frequent remarks on her dressing sense. Guess, he was always into it.
“Fashion and design was a part of me since I was a kid even before I could realise it for my career. I used to cry for watching movies and I remember been left wide eyed and awestruck by the magnificence of 70s and 80s Bollywood films. Guess it was my sheer love for the movies that just pulled me into this world.”
