A quaint café in south Kolkata recently played host to a fashion popup to mark the onset of the Pride Month. The event encapsulated showcasing of indigenous fashion brands, arts and crafts and more along with a unique street
fashion show
held on the opening day and on the closing day. The onset of
Pride Month
was rightly ushered in through a fashion walk by professionally established trans men and women.
Popular trans model cum blogger,
Pushpak Sen
, opened the show on first day. Conceptualised by Rupam Mazumdar and Shankhadeep Mitra, the motive behind curating the event was to provide a platform and give exposure to new entrepreneurs from different strata of the society by encouraging them to move ahead in this post-pandemic scenario. The fashion event was choreographed by Debanjan Sinha and styled by Tanay Paul.
“The event aimed at celebrating fashion. I believe, fashion and beauty have no gender. And fashion is more than just glamorous clothes, it lets you be whoever you want,” shared Pushpak.
