Indian designer Manish Arora — who was recently conferred with the Chevalier de laA Legion d'Honneur, France's premier award to recognise eminent accomplishments of service to France — presented an edgy collection titled “Twin Peaks on Haribo” at the Paris Fashion Week that concluded on March 9, 2016.

It was a Western-inspired collection that showcased Arora's love of colours and patterns, featuring the designer's signature fuchsia tone and a bonanza of zany prints. (Source: AP)

The prairie skirts in ethnic prints caught everyone's attention. These were paired with Western throws and blankets that also showcased African wax-print fabrics. It seems tribal prints are currently quite the favourite among Indian designers, with Tarun Tahiliani also showcasing a collection inspired by the Kutch tribes earlier this year. (Source: AP)

There were cameos by Ellen von Unwerth, Chantal Thomass and Debra Shaw. (Source: AP)

The collection was also loaded with eye-catching accessories, headgear and embellished cowboy boots that spelled rodeo. (Source: AP)

Arora used guns and roses, beer bottles and chicken legs as motifs in the overall looks of his models. (Source: AP)

One of the models even carried a purple Pomeranian clutched under her arm. (Source: AP)

The use of denim was particularly fascinating, with some treated beyond recognition through intense hand-brushing and enzyme washing. (Source: AP)
