Talk about proud moments!

Manish Arora's been appointed Paco Rabanne's new Creative Director and he starts showing in October for Spring 2012! I've always loved his sensibilities and although his clothes were a little 'out there' for my taste, I think his collection for Paco Rabanne will lead him to distill his aesthetic into more wearable clothing which is definitely something I'm looking forward to. It's high time Indian designers were recognised on the world stage and this is the first actual sign of confidence that Indian designers can design for the world. Also, I'm glad that finally there's going to be an INDIAN designer who takes inspiration from India.
