Manish-Malhotra-UKICC-2

Manish Malhotra

Inaugural Ambassador

Manish Malhotra, Asia’s leading couturier and costume virtuoso, has been at the vanguard of luxury fashion and Indian cinema for over 35 years. A trailblazer, he reimagined Indian cinema’s sartorial narrative and making him a pioneer of innovation and glamour. Celebrating 20 illustrious years of the Manish Malhotra brand, his influence now spans continents, with flagship boutiques in Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, and his first international flagship in Dubai. As the creative force behind some of the world’s most iconic moments, including his recent role as Creative Director for the Ambani wedding, Malhotra continues to elevate Indian artistry to new heights. His foray into high jewellery two years ago has swiftly garnered international acclaim, gracing the world’s most coveted red carpets, with global icons such as Beyoncé, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Kim and Khloe Kardashian and Zayn Malik donning his creations. Manish’s works have graced prestigious venues like the Philadelphia Museum and the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre. Today, Manish Malhotra is more than a designer; he is a cultural ambassador, bridging the rich heritage of India with a modern, cosmopolitan allure.
