Manisha hails from Delhi, suggests the best stores and designs in Delhi, and describes her bikini sari and necklace.
Which is the best place to buy clothes in Delhi?
It depends on what you want to buy, but I'd suggest Ogaan (Hauz Khas village), Ensemble (Mehrauli), and Boyo. These have very good collections.
What is the range of the designer wear that they sell at these stores?
Sogan Ensemble is high-end designer wear, and St Christie is more of handicraft.
What are you wearing today and who's designed it?
I am wearing something that is called a 'Bikini sari'. It's a bikini, with a drape around it, and I am wearing tights. The designer is Shrivan Narresh.
How much did it cost you?
It cost me very little because I am the brand manager for the designers.
How much would this outfit cost in a store?
It's actual cost is Rs 18, 500.
Tell us something about the designers...
Well, they are pioneers in the field of beach wear, and they are very good with what they do.
Define your fashion quotient for us...
I think you should be stylish, but not be under-dressed or over-dressed. Never forget who you are, and wear what you feel is comfortable for you.
Whose design are you wearing today?
Of course, Shrivan Narresh.
What necklace are you wearing?
It's again from the same designers and it's called the Galaxy Jewel. It has a big semi-precious stone, lots of metal, and leather.
