Manish Malhotra, Designer said, “As a designer, I'm passionate about details. There is something about giving a tactile form to an idea and then further refining it - with colours, embellishments, cuts and accessories, that gives wings to creative imagination. Models are key to telling this story. They lend personification to an attitude that each of my collections represent. From demure and confident to playful and elegant, a great model emotes and brings an outfit to life, giving my clients a glimpse of the 'Manish Malhotra woman'. I know the hard work and single-minded dedication that goes into building a career on the runway. A great personality is the deal-breaker when I'm selecting a model- it's the grace with which she walks onto the ramp and then goes on to owning it with her poise."
