Indian fashion is set to achieve a landmark moment as celebrated designer Manish Malhotra prepares to showcase his work on the official calendar of Paris Haute Couture Week in July 2026. The announcement, shared by Malhotra on social media on June 2, has been widely welcomed as a significant step for Indian craftsmanship on the global fashion stage.
Scheduled to present his collection on July 8, 2026, Malhotra will make the House of Manish Malhotra’s first official appearance at the prestigious fashion event. Paris Haute Couture Week is regarded as one of the highest platforms for creativity, artistry, and craftsmanship in the fashion industry, making the inclusion a remarkable achievement for the designer and Indian fashion as a whole.
Malhotra’s journey to international recognition began in Mumbai’s fashion retail industry before he entered Bollywood as a costume designer. During the 1990s and early 2000s, his work in iconic films such as Rangeela, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, and Mohabbatein redefined cinematic fashion and influenced style trends across India.
A key aspect of his success has been his commitment to showcasing traditional Indian embroidery, textiles, and artisanal techniques. Over the years, he has built a reputation for blending heritage craftsmanship with contemporary luxury, creating designs admired by celebrities, business leaders, and global personalities.
Beyond cinema, Malhotra expanded his brand into bridal couture, high fashion, jewelry, and international retail. His upcoming Paris presentation is expected to highlight the richness of Indian craftsmanship while reinforcing the growing influence of Indian designers on the world’s most prestigious fashion platforms.
