Kolkata, January 22,2020: Designer extraordinaire Anamika Khanna curated an exquisite display of fashion in a larger than life finale, ‘The Pride of India’, collaboration with FDCI, in Mumbai, with 15 eminent designers. Adding to the grandeur of the evening were showstoppers Arjun Kapoor and Janhvi Kapoor adorned in masterpieces by Anamika.
Presenting the concept ‘My Craft, My Pride’ , Anamika Khanna showcased the diverse and rich culture of India through her collection that was young, energetic and almost flamboyant, representing two diametrically opposite sentiments that compliment each other at the same time. Intricately crafted, richly embroidered pieces in easy contemporary shapes, in which lustrous satins and rich silks were combined with khadi cottons, gave the assemblage their own identity, while lace organza and tulle added an ethereal element to the collection. 
Speaking about her curation ‘My Craft, My Pride’, designer Anamika Khanna said, “I believe that craft exposes human experience beyond the visual and cerebral and helps them explore it through their hands. In a predominantly mechanised world, it slows everything down, keeps traditional techniques alive, and enables us to create and express freely. Through my association with Blenders Pride Fashion Tour 2019-20, I take immense pride in showcasing the importance of craft by representing the diverse and impeccably rich culture of India.”
Moving ahead from Kolkata, Blenders Pride Fashion Tour will travel across cities such as Hyderabad, Delhi and Mumbai.
