Manish Malhotra's Indian resort wear leaves a breezy impact on audience

Mumbai, Mar 7 : Breezy, light, youthful and fresh summarises the collection showcased by fashion designer Manish Malhotra at the ongoing Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) in Mumbai.

Drawing inspiration from Indian colours and elements, Malhotra put together an interesting collection of dresses, saris, kurtas for women and jackets, shirts, trousers and shorts for men.

"I think we should all celebrate Indian clothes. I love them, I love designing them and what I wanted to show was that in resort wear you can have fun with Indian clothes," said Malhotra.

The ensembles in sheer fabrics and pastel colours were well appreciated by the audience.
"I loved the show. It was lot of fun, it was very youthful, typical Manish. His shows are always fun, bubbly, lot of vibrance, colours and fun. The audience enjoyed it," said Raveena Tandon, Bollywood actress.
