Manish Arora
PARIS, September 30, 2010
Manish Arora used the term "futuristic baroque" to describe his Spring collection. But considering the over-the-top, Ladies Who Gaga clothes shown today, perhaps the slightly riper era of rococo would be more appropriate. It was a time when artists reallylet their freak flags fly, as the Mumbai-born Arora is often known to do.
As for the futuristic part, Arora provided a base of candy-bright colors in latex leggings and streamlined color-blocked clothes for his oversized appliqués, and big shiny flourishes of gold horns that wrapped around legs and shoulders. The show's finale of sequined dresses and suits with postcard motifs was relatively serene. Perhaps it was Arora's way of saying he wishes you were here on this strange trip with him—it certainly looks like a fun journey.
