Entering Manish Arora’s showcase last night at Lakmé Fashion Week’s new experimental space The Atelier, is like walking into a mood. Known to design with an emotional bent it feels pointless to deconstruct his vision or analyze his looks – it isn’t about the clothes.
For a fashion presentation aiming to make a strong cultural, community-based statement, it becomes important to examine the authenticity of the sentiment which often becomes evident through the designer’s dealings off-the-ramp. Has he worked with the community before? How does he pay members of the community? Is he paving the way to create more opportunity for members of that community in the fashion world. The answer to all those questions in the case of Arora is, yes.
Fashion’s ability to amplify subaltern voices has not been more evident in India than in Arora’s body of work. He was one of the first designers to openly support and be part of the LGBTQIA+ community, at a time when few were out and proud.
