The BRIDAL Edit of Nooraniyat, the first presentation at FDCI’s India Couture Week by Manish Malhotra’s is a play of sensibilities. The outfits – made larger than life, almost magnified by the viewer who enters the very private world of the bride and her feelings as she adorns herself for her big day – are the hero in this very Indian tale.

Woven in fine craftsmanship and exquisite intricate elements, the Manish Malhotra Bridal collection 2021 runs the gamut of bridal emotions with striking, multi-hued compositions of ensembles that narrate a variety of moods and stories.

“My bridal edit is an amalgamation of moods and emotions of the brides,” says Manish Malhotra. “Over the years of creating their dream outfits and interacting with them, I inadvertently got drawn into those intriguing memories and decided to capture it all – from their enthusiasm and joy to the heartfelt and compassionate, there’s a myriad of emotions and sentiments that are so heart-warming yet unsettling, moments before she turns the page onto her new chapter. There’s some surreal magic adoring every bit of their feelings, transporting you into a world known only known to a bride.”

“Whether you are of this new age, or not, the feelings remain the same, the happy tears nonetheless flow, and through it all, our collection turns her dreams into reality,” he says.

Steering clear from trends, the collection takes pride in traditional, sacred reds, plush peaches, scintillating golds, while its heart beats with a contemporary yet glamorous silhouette that is coveted today.

The range is expansive with Manish Malhotra’s signature trails, sheer veils and layering drapes as they are most favoured, and perfect forms of extended silhouettes in bridal outfits, long enough to be trailing behind while the brides walk down the aisle in unparalleled elegance. The embroidery boasts of our age-old zardosi, badla, and of course our signature sequins on modern silhouettes.
