Paris-based Manish Arora, who returns to the Lakme Fashion Week after more than five years, has joined hands with Etihad Airways and released a short video on his inspirations behind his latest collection which will be showcased in Mumbai on August 19.
The celebrated Indian couturier will mark the 10th anniversary of his colourful Paris collection by presenting his collection, CosmicLove, to an Indian audience.
“The line I am bringing to Mumbai is inspired by the tribes of Africa and outer reaches of the cosmos. 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,” said Arora in a statement.
The video shows Arora in Delhi and in Paris speaking about his collections reflecting the varied cultural influences in his life, all the while travelling in plush seats in Etihad Airways.
From the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and the Canal Saint-Martin in Paris to Delhi’s historic India Gate and Chandni Chowk market, the video charts Arora’s trips across these two cities.
