His singular and unapologetic take on glamour has always put him ahead of the curve: think cascading floral appliqué embroidery, luscious and gleaming velvet ensembles, a dance of sequins on sheer fabrics. His is a timeless, seasonless aesthetic; an unapologetic maximalism.

From styling Bollywood superstars Madhuri Dixit-Nene, Karisma Kapoor, Rani Mukerji and Preity Zinta over the years to dressing up millennial stars like Ananya Pandey and Tara Sutaria, Malhotra’s epoch-defining take has always made him of the moment. From lending his touch to films like Dil To Pagal Hai, Veer-Zaara, Rangeela, and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... to contemporary cinematic works like Kalank and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, he continues to inspire generations of designers and stylists.
