Mandarin Flames by Ashok Maanay
When Designer Ashok Maanay puts on a couture show, you know it is going to be about embracing opulence and exotic themes. Revisiting the charming culture of China, the Mandarin Flames by Ashok Maanay collection showcased at the Bangalore Fashion Week 14th Edition was all this and more!
The Czar of embellishment showed Oriental inspired motifs in the colours of nature; ornate flowers, birds of paradise, and butterflies for the embroideries. The colour palette for Mandarin Flames by Ashok Maanay began with stark black and white, then went on to gorgeous blues, and ended with bright yellows and pinks. The ramp and ambience added drama too, with the show starting with a Chinese Dragon Dance!
In his fashion, designer Ashok Maanay always celebrates lavishness!
