Prominent fashion designer Manish Malhotra nostalgia spanned his tremendous success of appareling Michael Jackson in a sherwani to attend the 1998 Bollywood Awards, New York. Overnight designed without any measurements, but infused with both international taste along with traditional Indian styling. Malhotra shared a retro clip of Jackson thanking the ensemble—a cropped sherwani with pants and a woven silk and brocade-fringed shawl. Kamal Dhandona and S.P. Hinduja, event promoters, had initiated the project, and Malhotra was thrilled to dress the King of Pop. The success was a defining moment in Malhotra's career as it showcased his ability to function under pressure together with integrating cultural elements in harmony. The celebrities and fans alike praised him for this pioneering work, cementing his position in international fashion history. Source: Times of India, Moneycontrol
