Designer Manish Malhotra's talks about his journey in the fashion industry

With a career spanning over almost three decades and an experience of dressing a slew of divas such as Sridevi, Rekha, Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Alia Bhatt, trust ace designer and couturier Manish Malhotra to have lots of stories to share.

From Priyanka Chopra panicking backstage and theorising why the younger generation of actors 'look all the same' to how glad he is with the #MeToo movement in India, Malhotra was all heart, and a little diplomacy, in a freewheeling chat with Sushant Mehta at the Robb Report Limited Edition 2018 summit in New Delhi.

The man who introduced shimmer, sparkle and sequins to fashion and the concept of showstoppers to fashion shows must have a few favourites from among the multitudes of actresses he has worked with. He says he hasn't.

When asked how he perceived the marked changed that has happened over the years in fashion in the films, he was prompt to answer. "I think it has got more to do with the movies. The films have evolved, and so has the fashion," he said.

Manish Malhotra also seemed mighty happy with the #MeToo movement that has gained pace in India since actress Tanushree Dutta accused Nana Patekar of sexual misconduct on the sets of the 2008-movie 'Hork Ok Pleassss'.

Manish Malhotra has a filmography of over 100 movies to his name, along with many fashion awards and Bollywood awards to his credit.
