At least once a year, fashion designer
Manish Arora is seen at some party at an embassy in Delhi. This time, it was at the Austrian Embassy and Manish was one of the special guests. “I just flew in from Paris for this. I think it is because I have international shows and I’m working with international brands that I have to attend an event or two at embassies whenever I am here,” said Manish.
The designer also displayed three of his designs at the venue, and it became the favourite spot for the guests to take pictures.

(BCCL)Austrians’ love for Indian fashionApart from Manish’s friends from the fashion industry, there were some Austrian guests at the party who said that they were in love with Indian fashion. Among those speaking highly of Indian fashion was Georg Zehetner, Charge d’Affaires at the Austrian Embassy. “Though I am very European in the way I dress, I really like traditional Indian designs for men, specially a bandhgala jacket and kurta. Among Indian fashion designers, I like Manish. He is such an optimistic and colourful person. I love the colours he uses in his designs,” said Zehetner.
