Blenders Pride Fashion Tour Revolutionizes Craft
The Blenders Pride Fashion Tour in Kolkata was a big fashion show that did something different.
It took old Indian craft techniques like zardozi and chikankari and made them look new and futuristic.
The show was on a boat in the Hooghly River, with cool lights, sounds, and even divers.
The designer, Anamika Khanna, showed clothes that were like art, and the actor Ishaan Khatter was the star of the show.
Everyone loved how the show mixed old and new fashion.
The company behind it, Pernod Ricard India, and the Fashion Design Council of India worked together to make this happen.
It was a night of exciting fashion and culture.

The event was held on a barge in the Hooghly River, with a dramatic backdrop of the iconic Howrah Bridge, featuring high-energy performances and responsive lasers.
Anamika Khanna's collection deconstructed and reassembled traditional crafts like zardozi, chikankari, and mirror work using futuristic tailoring and metallic interventions.
Ishaan Khatter was the showstopper, arriving in a speedboat for a dramatic finale set against the Howrah Bridge.
The event was a collaboration between Blenders Pride and the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), aiming to push fashion into a new era by blending heritage and innovation.
