Bollywood’s darling designer’s collection targeted the neo-bride

By ELLE team July 21st, 2014

For his latest couture collection inspired by and for the neo-bride, Manish Malhotra concentrated on mixing the tradition with the contemporary. The detail-oriented, jewel-toned line saw lehengas, jackets and sari blouses with Kashmiri zari work. Mixing beige, grape wine, red and emerald, Malhotra used fabrics like silk, velvet and tulle to highlight the luxury of the garments. With low backs, midriff-baring cuts and peter pan collars, Malhotra kept the collection youthful, fun and modern – fitting in perfectly in the new age bride’s wardrobe.
