Singer/Songwriter VV Brown attended the 2009 MOBO (Music of Black Origin) Awards wearing a dress version of the Manish Arora flying dolphin print seen on the Fall 2009 runway.
We just wish the hair wasn’t in front so we could see more of the dress.

Yet another Manish Arora sighting and this time it was at the 2009 BET awards on Alicia Renee. The singer wore a Fall 2009 Manish Arora skirt with a lace bustier with funky Manish Arora boots, also seen on the runway.
P.S. I tried to find more info on her and her music but didn’t succeed. Have you heard her music?

Harpers Bazaar India has a spread with six designers paying homage to the Swarovski crystal and how it has influenced their design. We spotted Manish wear his blue kurta again for the editorial but what’s freaking us out is why only Bal channeled his inner ‘Joker’ while others were photographed as is.
You can check out the whole spread featuring the six designers here.

Singer Katy Perry was spotted in another Manish Arora creation(see previous here), this time wearing a peacock dress from the designer’s Fall 2009 collection. The designer himself was looking quite spiffy in a bright blue kurta with colorful sneakers. (am guessing are from the Manish Arora for Reebok collection)
I just wish that Katy would wear his designs in the US because I am sooo ready for a little ‘Arora’ invasion! 😛 (Or maybe not, I don’t want to not be able to afford his clothes anymore! 😉 )
You can check out his Fall 2009 collection here.

The latest to sport a Manish Arora was singer Erykah Badu who wore a blue dress from the designer’s Spring 2009 ‘Circus’ collection. Most of you ask whether the pieces shown on runway are sold as is in stores. Here is an example of how a piece is toned down for retail wear. I must add that without the frills, the quirkiness that is so ‘Manish’ is partly lost. Especially in this piece.
Thanks ‘HighSnobette’ for the tip-off!
