Manav Gangwani - Sunset Boulevard

Manav Gangwani presented us Sunset Boulevard, a diffusion line with an underlying idea of opulence, glamour and red carpet appeal.

Created for the rich, the famous and the beautiful, his lush creations were carefully crafted garments with minute attention to detail, making each of them a masterpiece.

Flamboyant flattering colours such as ecru, peach, salmon and black were partly encrusted with beadwork and crystals to emphasize body contours and styling outlines.

The designer created jackets and coats for men which were made from entirely heavily smocked materials. Others came in black colour with contrasting embroideries in white and white collar.

The luxurious theme was also reflected through the designer's fabric selection. He used de luxe velvets and burn-out, smooth wools, serene chiffons and rich georgettes to translate his inspiration.

A signature element which repeatedly appeared on the ramp was oversized ballooning opaque or transparent sleeves that added drama to the dresses. Another main feature could be found in the usage of many mother-of-pearl buttons which were dyed in colour shades and applied to shoulders and collars.

Sunset Boulevard addresses the sensuous woman who wants to break the norm with a statement for pure seductive luxury during the coming festive season.
