Sparkle #136: Disco Gypsy at Paris Fashion Week

Fashion Week is upon us again and this time the runway is setup in Paris! My favorite show at Paris has almost always been Manish Arora’s ready to wear Spring Summer preview. Kitschy, psychedelic and colorful – his trademark style is very close to my heart. He never disappoints, and this time was no different! I have always been a fan of his work, check his previous collections here. With a collection labelled ‘Disco Gypsy’, he stayed true to his quirky style but added a whole lot of drama via prominent Indian elements. The exuberantly colored clothes feature a vast array of embellishments and fun details…

I feel it is a great way to shake things up in your wardrobe and personal style. It is also extremely versatile – you can mix and match to create interesting combinations of prints, fabrics, colors and even silhouettes. This look can be styled for both formal and casual events, plus it is really comfortable…
