Saris, Anarkalis and more: Manish Arora goes all-Indian in NY

The quirky designer to Hollywood celebrity gets in touch with his Indian side. Snapshots from the 15th anniversary entertainment gala of Indo-American Arts Council!

Best known for his psychedelic colours, kitsch motifs and bizarre outfits (see here), Manish Arora weaved in his design sensibilities to create an all-Indian line at the 15th anniversary entertainment gala of Indo-American Arts Council (IAAC).

Arora's line primarily featured long flowing ghagras, anarkalis and saris in a mix of fluorescent colours and print.

The sari gets a Manish Arora treatment! Go low-rise, team it with a jacket or simply let the pallu do the talking.
