Indian fashion with a psychedelic twist

Talk of the town: The envelope-pushing Indian designer counts Kanye West, Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj among his biggest fans.

Word to the wise: Tailor your wishlist on Manish Arora's online shopping site.

The rebel of Indian fashion, Mumbai-born designer Manish Arora's bright, over-the-top ensembles have set catwalks alight at fashion weeks around the globe for more than a decade. Currently the creative director for French fashion house Paco Rabanne, Arora's ready-to-wear (if you dare) designs are stocked in boutiques around the world.

Arora recently shut down his more avant-garde Fish Fry boutique in Delhi to make way for this "more accessible" venture in the DLF Emporio mall. The jewel-studded kurtas and colour-pop saris are still by no means cheap, but they really are something.
