Lakme Fashion Week

9 pm (wednesday) > Manish Malhotra
A grand piano at the centre of a lavish, large ramp (read: 80 ft x 30 ft), complete with vintage glass vases, an installation of chairs and tables suspended from the ceiling sofa sets, lounge chairs, dramatic lights and live Jazz music by Gino Banks and Sheldon D’Silva, at Bandra’s Mehboob Studio. This could have easily been a scene right out of the glamorous, big-budget Bollywood films that Manish Malhotra is known to design for. It wasn’t. The stage was set for the popular designer’s first menswear line titled, The Gentleman’s Club. The setting and mood were perfect.
