Thanks to
The Clothes Whisperer I have discovered a new clothing designer that I have fallen in
LOVE with! His name is
Manish Arora (click to go to his web site). His taste is quite
avant garde, it is
creative,
unique and
colorful...anything but boring! He seems to steer clear of playing it safe as even his LBD's have sass all their own!
The line started retailing in 1997 in India. Had many major steps in between, but finally debuted at London Fashion Week in September of 2005.
Here is one of his dresses on the cover of V magazine:

As you can see...when the man plays with black, its intensity is displayed in a very powerful, almost aggressive way and yet the design has elements that tone down its aggressive nature in such a delicate way too.

This is one of my absolute favorite items from his collections! What a beautiful color blend with graphic design elements and ah-mazing texture to top it all off! |

His use of elements for texture are very innocent almost child like items, leaving you with a very youthful thought to the look, and yet it is compiled in a very chic way!
I DIE! |

And then to keep him unpredictable and us always guessing what is next, he will work with a completely different texture in a very feminine manor. And yet, this item still has a very modern finish like all of his other ensembles. BRILLIANT!

I adore the lines of this dress, the shape; it whispers a sassy jazz tune to the 1920's flapper in us all, making me want to kick my legs around in dance : )
And the HAIR!!!! |

And this is where Katy Perry gets all of her insane dresses that look like they are designed with theatrics in mind.
