    We are all familiar with master couturier Manish Malhotra’s larger-than-life shows that have long served as the moodboard for luxurious Indian weddings. And, this year, after conquering the Met Gala and Cannes Film Festival, Manish has come up with another unique concept— to showcase his much-awaited couture collection.


    And no, it doesn’t involve a massive set…or a formal runway for models to strut about. Manish Malhotra is rewriting the rules of fashion, yet again, by throwing a couture party. And Manifest is predicting, nay, we are affirmative, that this will turn into the biggest wedding trend of the year, too.

    So, what can we expect from this fashion extravaganza? Manish has envisioned this night as a celebration of couture. And both his new designs and archival pieces will be on display in an immersive format. But Manish’s curation doesn’t end at crafting pieces that are works of art—he has ensured that every key detail for the night, from the decor to the food, has Manish’s special touch. And the guest list for the couture party, in classic Manish Malhotra fashion, will be top notch as well. With Bollywood celebrities, industry leaders, and the most stylish people in the capital in attendance, this will be a night to remember.

    For Manifest to become one of Cambridge Dictionary's most viewed words of 2024 — 1,30,000 hits and counting — it means some of us must have Googled it at least once. I know, I hit that search button over and over again
    because each time I looked at it, I saw a new meaning.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.
