Lakme India Fashion Week 2003 :: Manju & Bobby Grover

The designs that roll out of the Manju & Bobby Grover Studio are truly international in their colour palette, styling and design ethos. Schooled in the art of fashion design, Manju and Bobby have mastered the craft of creating wearable chic. The two specialize in clothes that are "practical, elegant, sensual and a symphony of the west merging with the east". Working around Gothic, European, Renaissance and other international motifs, their embroideries are minimal and highlighted with solid, pastel colours.

Like all creative artists, Manju and Bobby too innovate with the canvas, their forte being in the field of hand painting and tone on tone intricate embroideries. Be it detailed with piping, embroidered tone or embellished with Swarovski and stone, their blouses are beautiful and literally their signature statement. Retailing from half a dozen high profile stores, the Grovers believe in working with at least a dozen ideas at the same time, variety definitely being the spice of their life.
