That Manish Arora desires to fashion his career in the John Galliano mould is not a recent revelation. The ability to evoke delight in clothes and the audience is one that puts the two on a common platform.
And when Arora took a bow with the jubilant Jai Ho!, the emotion was eerily familiar -- John Galliano ended his Paris Fashion Week showing in February, in much the same way.
The modern day war against recession has spurred the do-or-die impulse in most of us.
Arora revisited this Freudian "survival of the fittest" theory with a collection seeped in jungle fantasy, buoyant with flying
dolphins, leopard butterflies, white peacocks and four-legged birds.
The resistance from the outside managed to stir a battle from within, with form fitting dresses, high-waisted pants and pencil skirts contradicting the roomy square back tops.
The make-up and hair looked labouriosly worked, creating gelled plumes and spirals. Dramatic pieces aside, there were enough wearable outfit options including textured blacks in rich silk velvets, digitally printed dresses in satin and a scallop gown in delicious red.
