Designer Manish Malhotra sounds elated that this is happening this season and to encourage this, he agreed to do a live show taking time off from launching his next collection at his stores and digitally. “The reason I am doing the live show is to encourage the fashion community to come together and get back the energy of work and solidarity and of all of us being together. I am sure this season will go so well that we will have more seasons like this and I have to say it was a very wise decision by Sunil Sethi to do this. My congratulations to Mr Sethi, Nikhita Punja and Jaspreet Chandok. This is the future of fashion - all of us being together,” says Manish.
