It was an out and out print party at
Manish Arora's fall 2016 show on day 3 of Paris Fashion Week.
There was nothing (in the collection) that seem unusual and
un-Manish. Every single look was loud and clear on who created the look. Manish Arora is known for his vibrancy no matter what theme he picks inspiration from. This time his fall 2016 collection took inspiration from the television series 'Twin Peaks' which interestingly is a murder mystery but the clothes were nothing like dark as one would associate with mystery.
Manish wanted to give his signature treatment to Twin Peaks, "I thought how would it be if 'Twin Peaks' would be on Haribo (biggest manufacturers of gummy and jelly sweets in the world), and thus the result "a sweet, gummy 'Twin Peaks'" collection
Speaking to media about his collection and the inspiration behind it, Manish pointed out, "because my last collection was all shiny and blingy, I wanted to move to matte, so that's how I began. We thought of Americana-suburban then we thought of Africa and then of course, I go to Burning Man (festival) every season. So all that put together is what (comes out) in this collection.
Who: Indian designer Manish Arora
What: An Americana-inspired collection titled “Twin Peaks on Haribo”, inspired by murder mystery television series "Twin Peaks" and gummy bear candies, of course!

Puff sleeves at Manish's fall 2016 show saw its different avatars - the droopy relaxed puff sleeve, the ruffled puffs or the stiff bold shoulder puff. It was all out there.
