Manish Arora for SCAD FASH Museum of Fashion + Film

Renowned for dazzling designs in a rainbow of colors, Manish Arora has brought the talent and craftsmanship of India’s rich sartorial history to the global forefront, earning international acclaim on runways across three continents. Designing in India since the 1990s, he made his international debut in 2005 in London and just two years later began regularly showing at Paris Fashion Week. Arora’s glittering garments celebrate extravagant expressions of self through varied materials, techniques, and silhouettes in a triumphant union of Western and Eastern aesthetics adapted to today’s multicultural society with a touch of humor.

Arora’s global success speaks to the power of beautiful, well-crafted design. Combining the contemporary and the centuries-old, he originates wholly individual looks, bringing his vision to life for international clients and the world writ large. Arora’s unique designs have been worn by figures including Priyanka Chopra, Lady Gaga, Kate Moss, Aishwarya Rai, MIA, Katy Perry, Beth Ditto, Fergie, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Miley Cyrus, Kaia Gerber, Grimes, and others. His fashions have also been featured in Netflix’s Emily in Paris and on the covers of magazines like V, Interview, and Vogue India.
