AUTUMN FAIRIES

Accessories to go with Tenzing Chakma's Red Collection

A jute bag is a must; this makes one come closer to nature.

There's definitely no alternative to red stilettos or strappy sandals.

Dupattas can be used as head wraps to give out a gypsy vibe.

Large buns and a red rose tucked behind the ears would definitely give out the aura of a boho dance enthusiast.



When autumn arrives, we want to revel and dress up in all its colours, and exude life in all of nature's bright shades.

Tenzing Chakma, a renowned designer of our country, seems to understand our hearts all too well; encouraging the visionary within to develop a fashion line that perfectly suits the weather and our temperament. 

"Autumn is such a remarkable time; to dress down in dull boring colours is such a sad example for the world of fashion," remarks the designer. "… I believe that bright colours would do justice to the natural beauty surrounding us and hence my latest collection in vivid red, suggesting the change," adds Chakma.

True to his words, all the designs in the red collection are cotton based and perfectly suitable for the autumn.  

When you look closely at the designer's latest signature collection, you are immediately transported to the past - to a nostalgic time of fairy tales and make-believe. 

From Red Riding Hood's crimson cape to Snow White's rosy lips, the colour red in its shades have been aesthetically ingrained in all our minds.

The red collection will surely remind most of those lovely fairytale days and the associated nostalgia. 

In addition to the reminiscence of the past, the styles are extremely comfortable and very much fusion based, keeping up with the trends of the recent era.

"I also have another unique line called the Jamdani line which has already been appreciated by many of my patrons. I love playing with designs, so I rehashed few of my old work and changed them completely to give a new look for the humid weather," admits Chakma.

Discussing further, we were able to learn that the whiz designer is awestruck by the beauty of nature and wants to incorporate it into most of his styles. "My designs are always in-sync with nature and always project a feeling of comfort and relief."

A man of his words, Chakma always designs clothes that are ideal for the Bengali belle, extenuating their natural beauty and flair.
