At the age of 25, Manish Malhotra forayed into Bollywood by
designing for Juhi Chawla in Swarg. Today, at 34, his name
is synonymous with style in Hindi films. He revolutionized
the fashion scene in Bollywood by envisioning a 'look' for
the character. His tenure as a costume-designer has seen him
clothe most of the leading actresses in the film industry
from Sridevi, Urmila Matondkar, Karishma Kapoor, Kajol, Raveena
Tandon, Manisha Koirala, Madhuri Dixit, Twinkle Khanna, Shilpa
Shetty, Kareena Kapoor, to Aishwarya Rai, Rani Mukherjee and
Preity Zinta. Although he doesn't design regularly for male
actors, he has attired Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan on several
occasions. Manish Malhotra's list of films includes several
blockbusters since Rangeela, where he metamorphosised Urmila
Matondkar and turned her into a raging sex symbol. He repeated
the magic with Karishma Kapoor and changed her image through
Raja Hindustani. From Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Khamoshi,
Hero No.1, Judaai, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Dil To Pagal Hai, Hum
Saath Saath Hai to Kaho Na Pyar Hai, Mast, Phir Bhi Dil Hai
Hindustani, Satya, Dhadkan and Mohabbatein, he has been associated
with nearly all of the decade's most successful films.
His work has been greatly appreciated and he has received
several awards. He was awarded the first and only Filmfare
Award for Costume Design for Urmila Matondkar's look in Rangeela,
the Showtime Opinion Poll Award for Raja Hindustani, the Siemen's
Viewer's Choice Award for Dil To Pagal Hai, the Lux-Zee Cine
Award and the Bollywood Award in New York for his work in
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. He has also been graced with Indira Priyadarshini
Memorial Award for his contribution to the fashion industry,
felicitated by National Institute of Fashion Technology, New
Delhi and the Indo American Society for his contribution to
fashion designing, and was also named the most Stylish Designer
Of the Year at the Elle Style Awards in 1999.
High on his success, Manish Malhotra decided to branch into
mainstream designing in 1998 with his high-profile couture
store Reverie - Manish Malhotra. The store received a tremendous
response and his clientele featured socialites Tanya Godrej,
Tina Ambani, Haseena Jethmalani, Rhea Pillai, Avanti Birla
as well as important members of the NRI community. He has
done several wedding trousseaus for reputed families. His
popularity soared during this period when he was exclusively
asked to design clothes for Michael Jackson for his appearance
during the Bollywood Awards held in New York. The performer
was so please that he requested Manish to design outfits for
his show in Munich and to design clothes for his children.
Malhotra's first fashion show in November 1999 was eagerly
awaited and the talented designer did not disappoint. His
clothes were received with great appreciation and almost 70
percent of the clothes were sold out within three weeks. Malhotra
created a coup of sorts by having Urmila Matondkar model the
showstopper, an act followed by several designers for their
shows later. A part of his collection was the embroidered
denim wear that became a rage all over the city. International
model, Naomi Campbell picked up a pair on her visit to the
city.
Manish has managed to achieve that delicate balance between
designing for film, as well as haute couture. Now with Sheetal
Design Studio, Manish wants to conquer further horizons in
the fashion industry. His plans include a prêt a porter line
for women along with his couture label and also a couture
& prêt line for men
