The founder of the eponymous label, Manish Malhotra, he has been deeply entrenched in the twin worlds of fashion and film for the past three decades. He has styled and designed for more than thousands of movies and won numerous awards. He is known for redefining and modernizing how actors look in Indian films and reviving some of the country's forgotten crafts. He sometimes took part in the narration and scripting to develop film costumes. Malhotra received the Priyadarshini Memorial Award for his contribution to the fashion industry and the Filmfare Award for Best Costume Design in 1996 for the film Rangeela (1995).

Since 2018, Manish has launched four other new ventures - Manish Malhotra Beauty, Manish Malhotra Jewellery, a Film Production company, and Home decor.

Early life[edit]

Manish Malhotra was born to a Punjabi family in Mumbai, India. He studied at the Sacred Heart Boys High School, Mumbai. At the age of 19, while studying Arts at Elphinstone College in Mumbai, he did a few modeling gigs in ad campaigns for brands like Fu's, Weekender, Frooti, and Goldspot. He then joined a boutique in Bandra called Equinox, where he spent his time sketching and draping the mannequins for a year. In 1987, he hired two tailors and started taking customized couture orders from his house. In 1989, he styled the actress Divya Bharti in a song sequence for a film by David Dhawan, but the film was never released. He debuted in the Hindi Film Industry as a costume stylist in 1990

Career[edit]

Stylist and designer[edit]

Malhotra made his costume designing debut with the film Swarg (1990), starring Rajesh Khanna, Govinda and Juhi Chawla. The same year, he was hired by Sridevi to style her photoshoot looks. In 1993, he designed a complete look for the late Sridevi's character in Mahesh Bhatt's Gumrah. After the shooting of the Telugu thriller Govinda Govinda (1994), Ram Gopal Varma hired him for the costumes of Rangeela (1995). The film led Filmfare to introduce a new award category for costume designing, the Filmfare Award for Best Costume Design, with Malhotra being its first recipient.

Malhotra was credited for his modern and minimal yet impactful costume styling - be it the chiffon sarees in "Hai Rama”, the tangerine skater dress and the printed dress on a white base in "Tanha Tanha", the pleated skirts and boyfriend shorts in "Rangeela Re", or the Chaplinesque look in "Kya Kare Kya Na Kare". The casual style of Urmila Matondkar, who played the film's central protagonist - from co-ords, skater dresses, leotards with scarves to oversized shirts, high-waist jeans with figure-hugging tees, and wool berets - were noted to be one of the main talking points of the film.

In 1997, Malhotra worked on Yash Raj Chopra's Dil To Pagal Hai (1997) where he designed stylish athleisure wear, sheer traditional outfits, and minimal styling to Hindi Cinema.[citation needed] For the costumes of Karan Johar's Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), he won 7 individual category awards[which?] for the casual to bridal looks he created.[citation needed] In 1999, Karan Johar hired him again to style Kareena Kapoor's look in the family drama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... (2001).[citation needed]

In 2001, Malhotra won his first IIFA Award for Best Costume Design for his work in Aditya Chopra's Mohabbatein.

In 2003, Malhotra styled Johar's Kal Ho Naa Ho, a romantic comedy-drama based on NRI's living in New York City. Preity Zinta's statement pieces included scarves, trench coats, halter dresses (including the now-iconic red one from "Kuch Toh Hua Hai"), sweaters, slip dresses, flared pants, and one-shoulder dresses - all relevant to the era and character. Shah Rukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan's embroidered kurtas and Zinta's blue "Maahi Ve" lehenga, and Jaya Bachchan's makeover look, which including jeans, sweaters, sweatshirts and long trench and overcoats also received acclaim.

The same year, he designed the wedding outfits for Karishma Kapoor subsequently leading to inquiries from high-profile clientele like the Raheja Builders and many more.

In 2004, Malhotra styled Sushmita Sen in Farah Khan's Main Hoon Na in flowy chiffon sarees, vibrant colors, and prints

In 2006, Johar once again reached out to Malhotra to style the entire cast of his ensemble musical romantic drama Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. Malhotra received universal acclaim for his styling in the film - right from Shah Rukh Khan's preppy athleisure wear, Rani Mukherji's chiffon sarees, halter blouses and trench coats, Abhishek Bachchan's working guy formal wear, Preity Zinta's chic fashionista skirts, scarves, tops and dresses, Amitabh Bachchan's classic suits to Kirron Kher's homely long skirts, sweaters, stoles and kurtas.

In 2007, Malhotra styled Kareena Kapoor's character, Geet in the film Jab We Met. The film saw the rise of harem pants paired with long t-shirts, phulkari scarves, corset tops (with the popular red skirt), and hoop earrings with short kurtas.

In 2008, Malhotra was widely praised for Priyanka Chopra's look in the film Dostana. Based in Miami. the vibe of the film was cool chic, and so were the costumes. It saw her in the iconic shimmering golden swimsuit, and her classic silver saree with a sensuous blouse from the song "Desi Girl" launched many versions of the same.

In 2013, Malhotra styled and designed the look for Deepika Padukone's character, Naina Talwar, in Ayan Mukerji's Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. The electric blue saree with a black shimmer blouse, her form-fitting kurtas with plunging necklines, low waist lehengas with short blouses, or floral dresses paired with sweaters and denim jackets.

His body of work of over 1000 films and designing innumerable looks for actors including Rekha, Sridevi, Raveena Tandon, Kajol, Sushmita Sen to the generation of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif, Anushka Sharma, Alia Bhatt, Janhvi Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan, Ananya Pandey, and many others, Malhotra has been telling stories through all his creations for three decades now.

Manish Malhotra was a judge panellist in the reality show Myntra Fashion Superstar which hunts India’s next big fashion influencer on the Myntra App.

Malhotra was bestowed with the Filmfare Award for 30 years of outstanding contribution to Bollywood fashion.

Entrepreneur[edit]

In 1999, he collaborated with his friends, the industrialist Kajal Anand, Avanti, and Yash Birla for a brief period to design collections for their store, Reverie.

Manish Malhotra tied up with Sheetal Design Studio and set up a workshop there. He virtually became a face of the Sheetal Design Studio, and exclusively retailed out of their store at Bombay's Grant Road for 4 years.

After claiming his position as a costume director, stylist, and Hindi film industry fashion designer, he launched his couture label Manish Malhotra in 2005. It offers bridal, couture, diffusion, men's wear, and bespoke collections that now retail at four Mumbai, New Delhi, and Hyderabad stores.

In 2006, Manish Malhotra teamed up with Saif Belhasa Group of Companies to open his first flagship store in Dubai that catered to Arab and Global customers. The collection portrayed a range of specially designed shelas, abhayas and jalabiyas, an amalgamation of traditional craft and modern design sensibilities to reflect the essence of his designs. The store later shut down in 2017.

In 2008, he opened his first two flagship stores in Khar West, Mumbai, India.

In 2013, Manish Malhotra was the first Indian designer to open the largest Indian stand-alone store sprawled over 6,000 sq.ft, located in a gorgeous haveli on Kalkadas Marg in Mehrauli, Delhi. The space reflects Malhotra's trademark opulent style with arched windows, high ceilings, and vintage chandeliers.

Manish Malhotra partnered with Etihad Airways to create a virtual reality fashion show at Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai in August 2016.

In 2017, Manish launched the Hyderabad store, located in the city's posh Jubilee Hills locality, which spreads over 15,000 sq. ft.

Over the years, the label's aesthetic has aimed to bring together traditional Indian craftsmanship with contemporary silhouettes like gowns with intricate gold embroidery, cigarette pants paired with long jackets for women, voluminous lehengas worn with cropped blouses, or the use of non-traditional colors like royal blue, soft pink, maroon, etc., in bridal ensembles. The label's design language is claimed to exhibit glamour and is a reflection of modern India.

In 2019, many actresses wore the signature "Manish Malhotra saree" that the designer introduced in a variety of colours.

He launched his first-ever make-up line, Manish Malhotra Beauty, in collaboration with My Glamm in December 2018.

In 2019, the celebrity couturier ventured into a new space, 'Manish Malhotra Jewellery' in partnership with heritage jeweler brand Raniwala 1881. The curation is a medley of heritage with a modern touch, much like his line of clothes, entailing an expansive range of chandbalis, danglers, studs, jhumkis, kadas, chokers, layered necklaces in a combination of uncut palkis, emeralds, diamonds, jadau, coloured stones and pearls.

In 2021, he launched a collection of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) which had the sketches and GIFs of five couture pieces worn by famous artists like Lisa Ray, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Alia Bhatt.

Reliance Brands Limited (RBL) - part of the retail arm of billionaire Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance Industries acquired a 40 percent stake in brand 'Manish Malhotra' (within the lifestyle space domain) to accelerate the 16-year old couture house's growth in India and across the globe. On Friday, October 15, Reliance Brands and Manish Malhotra announced a strategic partnership as part of the deal. This is the first external investment for Manish Malhotra's brand, which has been privately held by the designer so far. The brand will continue to be led by Manish Malhotra, as Managing and Creative Director after the partnership with Reliance.

Digital venture[edit]

On January 14, 2021, Manish Malhotra was the first in the Indian design space to launch the first-ever virtual store.[citation needed]

The designer's virtual store allows the customers to walk through the Delhi flagship store spanning over 15,000 sq. ft. The virtual tour's design house is built with online navigation systems and custom configurations, and customers can walk through the aisles, zoom in on the products, and get the item's details.

In addition, guests traveling on Etihad Airways got the chance to watch the normal version of the movie as part of the flight’s inflight entertainment.

The NFT collection had sketches and GIFs of five couture pieces worn by famous artists like Lisa Ray, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Alia Bhatt. The auctioning was done in WRX—which is the native token of WazirX based on the Binance blockchain. The dropped collection made the sale within 12 seconds.

Manish Malhotra has been a judge panellist on a reality show called Myntra Fashion Superstar, aimed at identifying India’s next big fashion influencer on the Myntra App.class.org.in

Runway[edit]

Manish Malhotra, the designer, started his Productions arm in 2018 with India's most elite and beau monde wedding of Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal. The entire Sangeet event was conceptualized, curated, and executed by Manish Malhotra Productions. Guests included global business tycoons, politicians, sports stars, Hollywood, Bollywood personalities, and international celebrities such as Hillary Clinton and Beyoncé.

Cinema has defined, decorated, fired and fuelled Malhotra’s work—an aspect and quality he masterfully employed to present his recent collections.

To conclude India Couture Week (ICW) 2020, Malhotra was the first in the Indian fashion space to stage the grand finale in a virtual format with ‘Ruhaniyat’ —a medium that gave him the chance to sit in the director’s chair and visualize clothes as characters. The couture film conjured a mood of mysticism laced by the Sufi notes of singer Abi Sampa and musician Rushil Ranjan. Malhotra’s inspiration is pivoted on the princely histories of Punjab and Awadh, with styling, music and the overall old-word opulence borrowed from the Mughal era bringing forth the real fraction of the Awadhi-Punjabi repertoire with voluminous silhouettes, deft embroidery, and layerings. Janhvi Kapoor, the young film star and daughter of the late Bollywood actor Sridevi, became the revered muse, invoking bridal emotions at different points in the fashion film.

The multi-faceted designer introduced his timeless and seasonless 'Nooraniyat' collection through a couture film in April 2021, featuring the millennial actress Sara Ali Khan and Kriti Sanon for the bridal collection. The couture video hallmarks his three decades of designing for film and the runway.

Foundation said, "I work in an industry where women are revered and respected. I have had the privilege of dressing some of the most beautiful and powerful women in the world, but when I step out of the door and into the stark reality of India, I see the injustice and inequality all around me.

Muscat Fashion Show[edit]

On 20 February 2014, Malhotra along with 20 models from Mumbai showcased his latest creations and couture in a binding show. The show was in association with Oman Cancer Association and Dar Al’ Atta’a to support cancer awareness. The show was held on 20 February 2014 at the lawns of the Intercontinental Muscat.

The show was in association with the WEvolve campaign and the World Bank as partners. WEvolve is a global campaign bringing men and women together to end inequality using the power of art and media to inspire action and change. The highlight of the show was the finale segment where the models were seen carrying messages of change and positivity on placards that read – gender, equality, society, empower and justice. The show derived its name, ‘The Blue Runway’ from the color palette it featured – different hues of blue from powder to midnight. Also the collection was designed to be worn in any part of the world with the women's line including flowy gowns, jacket-saris, off-shoulder and halter crop tops, and skirts as and long shirts in structured and easy styles.

He showcased his 2012 Mijwan collection at the India Fashion Week held at Grand Hyatt, Mumbai to promote Mijwan's female population and their craftsmanship.
