Blenders Pride Fashion Tour Crafts Fashion’s New Revolution

Kolkata, Dec 24: Blenders Pride Fashion Tour brought the curtains down on this year’s edition, with a breakthrough fashion narrative that shattered moulds of fashion craft as it is known. Set against the dramatic backdrop of iconic Howrah Bridge and transforming the city’s historic Hooghly River into a spectacular runway, the finale edition presented an experimental collection by designer Anamika Khanna AK, OK, with the charismatic Ishaan Khatter as the showstopper, that pushed design beyond convention and made fashion move into the next era.

In collaboration with the Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI), the showcase challenged long-held notions of craftsmanship, treating it not as a static tradition but as a living, evolving force. Anamika Khanna’s AK, OK dismantled familiar craft vocabularies  zardozi, chikankari and mirror work pulling them apart and reassembling them through futuristic tailoring, metallic interventions and cosmic-inspired graphics.

The show unfolded on a Barge, anchored in the midst of the Hoogly river, transforming it into a floating theatre of fashion. It opened with divers emerging onto the barge and scaffolding brought alive through light, smoke, and sound. Models appeared from within the structure to a high-energy score, as responsive lasers shifted with each step, amplifying the tension and momentum of the show. The narrative peaked with powerful chainmail looks presented as a unified statement, followed by sculptural silhouettes in motion. The finale delivered a dramatic crescendo with the Ishaan’s arrival in a speedboat, culminating in a collective closing moment set against the iconic Howrah bridge.

Adding a touch of gravitas to the evening was The Bengal Paddle vessel, with its museum-like interiors and historic detailing, that hosted the who’s who of the city before they were brought onboard the barge. The Riverine Museum within its former boiler room, that houses rare marine artefacts and curated installations tracing the Hooghly’s legacy, created an immersive cultural backdrop that complemented the sophistication of the showcase.

Debasree Dasgupta, CMO, Pernod Ricard India said,

“Blenders Pride Fashion Tour has always been at the forefront of shaping fashion and cultural conversations. As the final chapter of this edition, Kolkata delivered the very essence of what makes fashion truly transformative. ‘Future Is Crafted’ was not just a showcase—it was a powerful statement on how heritage and innovation converge to create something extraordinary.”

Designer Anamika Khanna, sharing her thoughts on the show, said,

“Together with Blenders Pride Fashion Tour, I was delighted to showcase how Indian craftsmanship can be deconstructed and reimagined for the modern world. Witnessing the audience embrace this bold reinterpretation of heritage was truly exhilarating.”

Showstopper Ishaan Khatter said,

“Being part of Blenders Pride Fashion Tour felt completely in sync with my own instinct to experiment and move beyond the expected. Watching craftsmanship break out of its traditional mould and take on a sharper, more expressive form made the experience incredibly exciting. Set against such an iconic backdrop, it felt like being part of a moment where fashion wasn’t just shown, but actively shaped.”

Sunil Sethi, Chairman, FDCI expressed,

“ FDCI was delighted to collaborate with Blenders Pride Fashion Tour, uniting two powerhouses of fashion to shape its future. The Kolkata edition celebrated creativity, culture, and set the pace for what’s next in Indian fashion.“

Chirag Sogani on the Discipline That Modern Menswear Desperately Needs

Jaipur: Menswear today moves fast – too fast. Trends flare up, vanish, and return in louder shades. Somewhere in that frenzy, subtlety began losing its seat at the table. Pleyne steps in right there. Founder Chirag Sogani has a clear point of view: the future doesn’t belong to excess, but to clarity.

“We’re interested in the pause,” Sogani says. “A quiet detail will always outlast a loud one.”

In a moment where Indian menswear leans toward quiet luxury, Pleyne doesn’t follow the wave – it tightens it. Here, minimalism isn’t aesthetic; it’s discipline.

A New Language of Luxury

Pleyne treats restraint as a craft. Every shirt, tee, and layer is shaped with a kind of architectural calm – collars with posture, seams that fall without pulling, silhouettes that don’t fight for attention but refuse to disappear.

There are no logos, no flashy signifiers. Identity is cut into the pattern itself. It’s a deliberate step away from the maximalist mood sweeping through the market. Pleyne isn’t trying to dress the trend-chaser; it’s speaking to the man who sets his own rhythm.

Craft That Serves the Man, Not the Moment
A glance at Pleyne’s latest capsule says enough.

A sand-beige overshirt – sharp lines, long-staple cotton, a structure that holds its own from morning meetings to late flights. A navy structured tee – zero embellishment, engineered to keep its shape long after softer fabrics would give up.

These aren’t pieces designed for a single context. They’re built for the man whose life moves in straight lines, diagonals, and unexpected turns.

“Our clients don’t dress to perform,” Sogani says. “They dress to reflect who they already are.”

That clarity is why intentional dressing is gaining ground in India – and why Pleyne fits the moment perfectly.

Timelessness Over Trends

While the industry drops new collections every few weeks, Pleyne does the opposite. Their releases are limited, considered, and designed to grow into the wearer’s life rather than cycle out of it. With time, the fabric softens, the shape settles, and the piece becomes part of a man’s personal rhythm.

Clothing with memory – not expiry dates.
This is not fast fashion. This is continuity.

The Power of Stillness

Fashion often competes for attention. Pleyne doesn’t. It introduces a quieter idea – stillness. Authority, in Sogani’s eyes, isn’t loud. It’s measured. It’s selective. It’s the confidence of a man who doesn’t need his clothes to speak on his behalf.

“Menswear doesn’t need more noise,” he says. “It needs discipline. And discipline creates presence.” In India’s evolving menswear landscape, Pleyne isn’t just another brand. It’s a point of view. One that treats subtlety as strength, quality as character, and restraint as a kind of luxury far more enduring than trends.

Go Colors Strengthens Retail Presence with New 2,400 Sq. Ft. Flagship on Mumbai’s Bandra Linking Road with Prajakta Koli

Mumbai, Dec 11: Go Colors unveils its new 2,400 sq ft flagship store at Bandra Linking Road, Mumbai – one of the city’s most happening shopping destinations. Inaugurated by face of the brand, Prajakta Koli, this is Mumbai’s largest of the 64 stores already in existence. This move also signals a strong next step in Go Colors’ retail expansion journey, following the successful launch of similar flagship formats in Chennai and Bangalore. 

At a time when Indian women are choosing comfort, versatility, and everyday confidence over fleeting trends, Go Colors firmly positions itself as a wardrobe essential for today’s life. From office hours to casual days, travel, weekends, and celebrations, well-fitted bottoms form the foundation of how women dress and feel. However, one of the biggest challenges Indian women face is finding innerwear that is truly comfortable and offers a wide range of options. Go Colors is building its entire portfolio to solve exactly that.

The new flagship store offers consumers a far more immersive and intuitive shopping experience, complete with dedicated category zones, collection walls, curated occasion edits, and spacious trial rooms. Here, consumers can discover the brand’s extensive range of bottom wear – across fits, fabrics, sizes, colors, and silhouettes for women of all age groups, body types, and lifestyles – under one roof. This reflects Go Colors’ belief that confidence begins with comfort and the right fit. 

“This flagship store marks a key milestone in Go Colors’ physical retail journey. After the success of our large-format stores in Chennai and Bangalore, Mumbai’s Linking Road is a natural next step. Linking Road represents discovery, style, exploration, and convenient fashion shopping, providing us with the ideal space to showcase our full range in a way that’s more accessible to diverse shoppers. This store reflects our long-term vision of building deeper, experience-led retail across India,” says Gautam Saraogi, Founder & CEO, Go Colors.

The store is inaugurated by Prajakta Koli, who is also the face of the brand’s limited-edition MostlySane collection. Launched in collaboration with Prajakta, the collection celebrates individuality, comfort, and playful self-expression, values that strongly resonate with today’s young, digital-first generation. 

“Today’s Indian women want clothing that moves with her life – comfort for long days, confidence for work, and style for every version of herself. Go Colors is built on understanding real women, real fits, and real needs. The new MostlySane collection with Prajakta brings that philosophy to life in a very modern, expressive way. And the new flagship store brings this to life with a dedicated MostlySane collection display that allows customers to experience it up close,” says Vatsal Koolwal, CMO, Go Colors.

Sharing her thoughts at the launch, Prajakta Koli adds,

“What I love about Go Colors is how inclusive and relatable the brand feels. The store truly reflects that – it’s welcoming, easy to shop, and designed around what women actually need in their everyday lives.”

During the launch, Prajakta explores the store, interacts with her fans and influencers, and shares her favourite picks from the collection, bringing a fresh, youthful, and cultural energy to the opening. Her presence adds a strong pop-culture connect to the launch, making the flagship opening both a retail milestone and a lifestyle moment.

Go Colors is no longer just a leggings brand but has evolved into a complete bottomwear destination for expressive, versatile, and elevated fashion. Today, it stands out by owning a clear niche – bottomwear done exceptionally well, delivering everyday styles that last longer, fit better, and feel better than fast-fashion alternatives. While this has seen the brand open more than 800 exclusive stores across 200+ Indian cities, it plans to expand continuously by opening 80-90 net new stores each year with a renewed focus on innovation, design and elevated retail experiences.
