Is uber designer Manish Arora Paris bound?

Rumour mills have been churning away in this relatively new year with news that designer Manish Arora may be on the move, on his way to Paco Rabanne in Paris, a rumour still unconfirmed. Now, for all of you who may not know him, and I would find that hard to believe, he is the beloved son of India and a leading luxury designer who makes couture clothing and ready-to-wear that sets the bar for fusions of cultures and styles. His eponymous line is shown at international fashion weeks, notably New York and Paris, and his store, Fish Fry, carries creative and inspiring ready-to-wear clothing. If you are not familiar with the Label Paco Rabanne, please check out the movie Barberella, which starred Jane Fonda in the beginning of her career and was a film that Paco Rabanne himself served as costume designer, as well as fashion references for ornate 
metal dresses. Manish is a master of prints, colours and silhouettes and is not afraid to take chances and venture out in directions others may be afraid to tread, making his point of view perfect for the House of Rabanne. His FW 2009 cirque collection showcased his ability to be focused in his vision, to design pieces that were both artistic and visionary, rendering a theme both wearable and one to covet. The brand has been on a revival course for the last six months starting with the relaunch of their 1969 chain mail handbag. The handbag was first brought to international attention when Brigitte Bardot was spotted carrying it. The revival of this style acknowledges the history of the house and expresses the direction of the company — creative, unconventional and exceptional quality. The new design comes in stingray, suede, metal and embellished leather. The new design has resonated with one of fashion’s elite, Comme des Garçons designer Rei Kawakubo, who collaborated with the brand on three interpretations of the bag that will sell in nine Comme des Garçons stores exclusively. There has been no response from the Paris office or from the international PR for the brand on whether or not the fashion world can truly be excited by the news but as soon as I know, so will you.
