Ace designer Manish Malhotra roped in Bollywood’s heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor to present his menswear collection entitled The Gentlemen’s Club. The Rockstar actor exuded sophisticated charm in a stylish burgundy four-button suit and printed shirt.
With the collection profile being winter and festive, the ensembles were in deep dark tones of midnight blue, emerald green, burgundy and black. Velvet and suiting materials were the predominant choice of fabrics. Tuxedos appeared with velvet shawl collars and the button closures for jackets moved from two, three to four with medium notched lapels – some piped with silk.

Long masculine trench coats in jet black, were in varying lengths teamed with suits. Embroidery was botanical motifs in resham thread work and appeared on strategic points of jackets, sherwanis and bundhgalas highlighting shoulders, plackets and sleeves in deep maroon or blue tones with just a hint of gold zari.
There were an assortment of hoodies, printed shirts, double breasted bundhgalas and long winter coats with or without belts. Bringing in some bling were gold sequined jackets or bowties, monochrome suit/shirt trio with shimmering contrast lapels, and a raglan sleeve sherwani with heavy embroidery on one side. An occasional black bundhgala jacket appeared with multicoloured floral embellishments and antique gold, with a rose motif as the highlight. The final line up of heavy wedding wear was showered with intricate glittering embroidery on traditional Indian ensembles.
