Celebrity fashion designer Manish Malhotra is making a foray into bespoke menswear with his Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2017 collection.

Malhotra, who will be showcasing his collection on the last day of the fashion extravaganza, said, "My closing show at LFW will for the very first time I present bespoke suits for men.

"After a successful menswear show at LFW a few seasons ago, the new collection is a step forward through a renewed focus on the segment. The pieces have been given a modern twist keeping it traditional and festive at the same time."

The designer, who is known for his vibrant and festive colours, has made a switch to black for his new line: "For the first time we have also used black extensively in the collection. The range, by using straight lines, flowy fabrics and low cuts, accentuates the sensuality of women."

Malhotra also revealed that his new muses are Jacqueline Fernandez and Aditya Roy Kapoor, both actors who have showstopped for him before.

Here's a sneak peek into Malhotra's 'Tales of Indulgence':
