Designer Manish Malhotra reimagined the traditional rules of a fashion show as he threw a dazzling "fashion party" at the Hyundai India Couture Week 2025, setting a new benchmark for couture celebrations.

The spotlight was firmly on the designer as he hosted his first-ever couture party -- an invite-only event that blended delectable cuisine, curated cocktails, and a stunning showcase of craftsmanship -- on day four of the prestigious fashion gala, being held at hotel Taj Palace here.

Malhotra, who made a return to the ICW after a gap of over five years, had teased that "something different" was in store for fashion aficionados on Saturday evening.
