The Whimsical World of Manish Arora

Commissioned by SCAD and executive produced by SCAD President and Founder Paula Wallace, the short film “Manish Arora: The Maximalist” lionizes the designer’s dedication to fashion, which he defines as the truest form of self-expression, and his unapologetic approach to honoring his point of view. Arora’s glittering garments celebrate extravagance through varied materials, techniques, and silhouettes in a triumphant union of Western and Eastern aesthetics adapted to today’s multicultural society — with a touch of his signature humor. Immerse yourself in the world of Manish Arora as he reveals the narrative and processes behind his larger-than-life looks. Presented in connection with his recent SCAD FASH exhibition “Life Is Beautiful,” the film reinforces SCAD’s championing of global influences. Learn more at https://www.scadfash.org
