A journey from Calcutta to Kolkata
Kolkata is a city of culture and carrier of traditional fashion. We being a design institute catch the flavour of Bengali to Cosmopolitan transformation in fashion and interior field. In the fifty years of period we have shown how people change from British Calcutta to pure indigenous Kolkata through the typical demographic fashion to cosmopolitan fashion both in dresses as well as in the art of living.
In this exhibition we are portraying popular Bengali Chaya-Chobi (Shadow Picture) to modern multiplex movies, how dresses and attire have crossed the typical local concept to globalization, how the origin of cinema, the studio has been reborn with new facilities. We are showing the confluence of hip-hop & street art fashion in a stall. Another stall exhibits the changes in hosting of a famous restaurant with the changes from Calcutta to Kolkata, along with the dwelling habits from big joint family to tiny nuclear family, how the metamorphosis of peoples silently bursts in due course of globalization.
