Although the ultra talented Manish Arora hasn't confirmed it yet, insiders have for us. Manish Arora is set to be the new head designer for French fashion giant; Paco Rabanne. This would sure be a fabulous new collaboration for Rabanne, the last few years the label has definitely been lacking, and fallen into the grey area of fashion critics and the public alike. Despite the recent release of the recently released hit perfume; 1 Million. Maybe that is just the start of new things to come for the French house, especially if Arora is anything to do with it. He will surely add color, and his heightened sense of cultured design which showcases through all his pieces. From Carousel dresses to iron on tattoos for Swarovski, Manish Arora for Reebok and even spreading to Cosmetic giant; MAC. As well as designing for Swatch, Nespresso, Veuve Cliquot and more. Generally he incorporates his already masterminded designs of characters, Hindu Gods and Indian nostalgia and mixes it accordingly for the brand he is working with.
I love his extensive use of media, from crystals, applique, heavy embellishment and the highly recognisable use of every color and shade in the rainbow. He is truly original, and will surely be able to turn Paco Rabannes recent shadows into streams of light. This hear say duo somewhat reminds me of Galliano for Dior, a traditional French house taken over by a color and texture crazed being. Despite being the opposite, he gave the quote 'Opposites attract' a whole new meaning.
