Aura by Manasvi Patel
B.Sc. in Fashion and Apparel Design 2022
“Aura” is a fashion collection by Manasvi Patel that takes inspiration from the changing beauty of nature and brings it in harmony with women’s changing elegance. The theme’s about how women get stronger, more graceful, and more interesting the longer they grow. It’s like a garden in late spring—blooming, but with an edge of chaos and order mixed in.
Manasvi is all about tailored stuff, not in that “corporate robot” way, but like sharp lines mashed up with fabrics that melt and move. Her designs focus on refined silhouettes that emphasise poise and power, using structured tailoring to reflect a woman’s journey through elegance, resilience, and personal evolution.
“Aura” captures this change using suiting fabrics, imported fabrics, and heavy satin materials—the kind of textile that holds its ground without swallowing the person wearing it, each for how well they drape with strength and yet still have a feminine point. It’s almost architectural with a garden party energy. Every piece plays with that contrast—structured like a rosebush, but blooming like a rose.
It’s not just about looking sharp. Manasvi is designing for women who decide what “elegant” means for them. Old-school meets fresh-off-the-runway. She’s not scared to make tailoring personal, lacing it with poetry and a sort of stubborn, quiet glam. Aura is for anyone who wants to feel classy and badass at the same time.
