I Continue To Be In Awe Of Movies: Manish Malhotra

The designer says he “looked at costume designing like no other designers looked at that time”

“I have a more than 24—year—long relationship with Bollywood and movies. I live and breathe films. My closest friends belong to this industry and are always around to support my work,” said Malhotra, who is known to attract the creme de la creme of Bollywood at his shows.

From designing for some of the style goddesses in the past to dressing up the current crop of Hindi filmdom’s leading ladies including Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor and Alia Bhatt — he is a hit all the way. Now he’s also up for designing for a period film.

“People associate me with modern India due to the kind of work I have done in the past. If I ever get a chance to do a periodic film, I would love to explore that world,” said the designer, who is now ready to showcase his new collection at the grand finale show of Shree Raj Mahal Jewellers India Couture Week 2014, starting here July 15.
