In a landmark moment for Indian fashion, Asia’s leading designer Manish Malhotra unveils the World Collection at Harrods London’s exclusive Private Shopping Penthouse, a members-only club. Harrods has invited Manish Malhotra to showcase his collection from 16th to 29th September 2024, making him the first Indian designer to be invited to the prestigious penthouse. This collaboration honours Harrods’ 175th anniversary, transforming the iconic department store into a stage for celebrating India’s cultural richness through global luxury.
The World Collection is an artistic tribute to India’s craftsmanship, reinterpreted for the contemporary world. The collection’s silhouettes draw inspiration from the drapes of the traditional sari, with gowns, saree-gowns, and brocade jackets, brought to life by zardozi, chikankari, and gota patti embroidery. Sumptuous silks, velvets, and airy chiffons evoke the opulence of India’s past, balanced with modern design. One of the standout ensembles, specially designed to celebrate Harrods’ 175th anniversary, incorporates the iconic Harrods greens, embodying a luxurious fusion of tradition and contemporary elegance. Manish Malhotra’s commitment to sustaining India’s artisans ensures each piece celebrates both Indian grandeur and the legacy of its craftsmen.
This collaboration bridges tradition and contemporary design, East and West, marking a beginning of a new era in global fashion, where heritage and innovation blend seamlessly, and the legacy of Indian art is celebrated on a global platform. This extraordinary showcase promises to be a celebration of cultural confluence, elevating the elegance and craftsmanship of India to unprecedented heights.
