Manish Malhotra will close Amazon India Couture Week this Sunday with ‘The Empress Story’, with work that proves, once again, why he’s such a hit with the brides. As these photos from the fittings show, the meticulous handiwork includes imagery of brightly-hued and long-tailed birds on deep forest green silk, alongside pieces in opulently detailed gold. Malhotra told us, “The collection will feature textured fabrics, voluminous gown-like silhouettes, trails of exquisite silk and intricate embroidery, which will bring to life the grandeur of an era gone by.” Malhotra won’t deviate from his love of colours, either: “The palette ranges from metallic silver and antique gold to rich burgundy, rose pinks, grey and brown coupled with three-dimensional embroidery in an ode to the modern woman.”
