Monaco Tourism recently presented an incredible collection by the master storyteller and couturier Rahul Mishra at India Couture Week 2019. Malhausi Monaco, the masterly showcase, revolved entirely around the famous streets of Monte Carlo and celebrated the emotion associated with a joyous human interaction with nature in Malhausi and an inherent walk along the memories of picturesque dwellings in Monaco.
