Manish Arora Thursday afternoon was all about sparkle, bright color and his usual flair.

From last Marcha t the Lycée Henri IV to the Salle Wagram where there was space to move around and pack in a hoard of guests, Manish put on a show indeed. Ruffles, Swarovski crystals, gold, fabulous shoes, shapes, Indian art accents, neon yellow tights and even a flashing colored top all set to live music, it was more than lively.

But bold and happy color was the star, as usual.

Models came out from behind a live band playing a fascinating twist on some 70’s rock cover tunes, on a runway of light. Crystals and gold accents brought your attention to the lavish garments as the lengthy colored legs drew the eye down towards fabulous look-at-me shoes. Garments had plenty of movement, and accessories were lots and lots of deep sparkling bracelets.

Dubbed “India’s John Galliano” Manish certainly shines.
