The Asians are attacking the West on all fronts … the fashion front that is!

When you picture Asian attire you think of colourful silks, heavily laden with elaborate embroideries with psychedelic designs however there seems to be an artist that is revolutionising the stereotypical image of the east. Dubbed the “Indian’s Galliano” Manish Arora is a prominent member of the Paris Fashion Week, with many celebrity clients that are regarded as the top of the music spectrum  such as Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Rihanna and Nicki Minaj are all among his followers.

Manish Arora has been often described as the Indian version of John Galliano (which we feel is a compliment as Galliano did change the fashion industry). Arora has earned great recognition in the European Fashion industry for his inventive and bold cuts. A note that suggests that his designs are well acclaimed is that 70% of his clients are from overseas.

Our note:  The Asian Fashion market as of recent has become a highly coveted sector, with the likes of Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy group and Hermes Boutiques trying to implement themselves in the regional industry shows that Asia has great financial and creative potential. Manish Arora may be the forefront for the Asian Fashion Industry however he often spoke that it is difficult to enter the overseas market but it does seem that he is doing something right because he is ensuring that he has the cat-walk in Paris Fashion Week year-in-year out.

We’ve often spoken of how fashion is not subjected to just the Western  world, it would be great to see an emergence of fashion designers from other regions, there are some that have great vision, creativity and innovation. We feel that this is the next step that fashion should be taking to increase the exposure of such designers like Manish Arora and such influences would propel the fashion industry to its next phase.
