especially for Manish Arora ss`10 mood-board

I was asked by Manish Arora to create some looks of spring summer 2010 collection for his mood-board; I received from his studio in Dheli some sketches, references images, resources /please see images below/ etc etc and based on this I created those illustrations. All happened at the very early stage of Manish`s creative process on his ss`20 collaction /around May`09/ – for comparison posting some final designs from the catwalk at Paris Fashion Week in October last year.

example of the “resources” sent by Manish`s staff which was the base for the final images
