A Moment with Manish Malhotra

Manish Malhotra has dressed the biggest stars, redefined red carpet elegance, and built an empire on elegance, emotion, and exquisite detail. However, before the couture, camera flashes and the celebrity fittings, there was a young boy with a sketchbook and an extraordinary eye. While other children were focused on textbooks, he was focused on textures: "My passion for fashion has been with me since childhood. While films sparked my interest, I was always captivated by fashion. I vividly remember being more focused on my teacher’s outfits, often noting mismatches, than on my studies. My mother noticed my deep-seated passion for fashion and encouraged me. These early observations and interests eventually led to my first job at a store, where I spent my time sketching designs. These initial steps paved the way for my transition into fashion designing, setting me on the path to where I am today."

Manish Malhorta in words...

Your number 1 accessory is... my scarves and now my brooches 

You splurge on… anything for my home décor or office décor 

You never leave the house without.... Meeting my mom, my phone and my bag 

How do you spend your free time..... A good dinner with friends.

Favorite travel destination.... Dubai, its like my second home and London 

Your Mantra...  ‘Stay passionate, be open to change and love what do you do cause it will always love you back’

First thing you do the morning and last thing you do before bed... I enjoy a cup of tea, which is a comforting ritual. I also like to listen to a spiritual chant or something calming that sets a serene tone for the day. And I end my day with spending time with my mother. 

A dream that came true... Becoming a producer and starting stage 5 production.
