Manish Malhotra Taking Indian Textiles And Couture To The Global Stage
Manish Malhotra began his journey as a costume designer in Hindi cinema, and year after year has given a masterclass in taking glamour to another level. In his 35-year career, he has showcased Indian craftsmanship in modern attire and converted it into a universal luxury language.
From red carpets to weddings, celebrities opt for Manish Malhotra-designed outfits not just for their exclusivity but for the intricate craftsmanship. Each piece celebrates Indian craftsmanship and centuries-old hand-embroideries, including zardozi, chikankari, and more.
His debut at the Met Gala 2025, 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style', was a major step in taking Indian craft to a global platform. He opted for a black sherwani paired with a cape, featuring glass beads and gilded motifs.
For his 2026 Met Gala appearance, he created a reflection of Mumbai - the city that has shaped my journey, cinema, and sense of design. "There is nothing like a classic Indian bandhgala- here layered with an architectural cape, brought to life over 960 hours by more than 50 artisans across Mumbai and Delhi. For me, this is more than a garment- it is a story of craft, memory, and collaboration," the designer shared on Instagram.
Fashion enthusiasts can't wait to see Manish Malhotra unveil new designs at the Haute Couture Week in Paris.
