I Continue To Be In Awe Of Movies: Manish Malhotra

NEW DELHI: The grandeur in Manish Malhotra’s bespoke ensembles is often as larger than life as some of the Hindi films that he designs for. That’s because movies have influenced him since childhood, says the acclaimed designer, who has styled a range of Bollywood’s screen divas over the years.

From Kajol, Karisma Kapoor, Rani Mukerji to Aishwarya Rai, Preity Zinta and Kareena Kapoor — Malhotra’s Midas Touch has worked its magic on several names in tinsel town. He continues to design for films and his “design philosophy” it is driven by the creativity of the cinematic world.

“Movies have been an influencer since childhood. I continue to be in awe of movies. The perfection of the 1960s and 1970s colours is what I grew up with and that reflects a lot in my design philosophy,” Malhotra told IANS in an interview here.

His romance with Bollywood started when he first served as a costume designer for actress Juhi Chawla in the 1989—released film “Swarg”. Later, his work for Urmila Matondkar’s look in the 1995 film “Rangeela” won him his first Filmfare award.
