Living two lives – one at home and one outside.

The exhibit opened in full swing in a chic-modernist makeover of the gallery that still paid a touching nod to the roots of Bengal in its spectacular showpieces.

Slogans and the Bangladesh saga / Celebrating 50 years of Independence

And we are excited to announce that we are making a commemorative video — sponsored by Tradesworth Household Limited and directed by Goutam Koiri — featuring a plethora of slogans which were chanted during various struggles in our history.

traditionally basanti / midseason MOODS

The mid-season vibe urges you to be bright and bold. Deep hues are alluring and can be beautifully carried throughout the transition. They reflect warmth and grace, making any attire look outstanding.

GLAM on the go!

It gets even more challenging when you have to look presentable within a short span of time. Office goers, whether active job holders or desk job holders, making an effort to look good is a keystone habit.

Traditional versus the Avant-Garde Bride

The biggest sartorial shift in the wedding arena is the emergence of the shirt blouses, pants as petticoats, and roomy capes over saris. Even to the most open minded, these styles maybe ‘a bit too much’ for the ‘deshi’ bride.

THE POWER of DISCIPLINED LEISURE

“I wasn’t doing well at school through the second year of college,” he described, “Instead of approaching studies as a big goal to work on, I decided to make only very slight adjustments.

RAIN or SHINE, Jackets and coats are FINE

What if you were only wearing a sleeveless tee and a knee length skirt? It is bound to get chilly in a bit.

Witness to victory

Collective memories are of course rich anthologies of history, but in it, get lost many individual voices. With the passage of time, we are losing many of the people who were witness to the struggle for independence. Here, we bring you some testimonials of general citizens, of varying ages, describing what they remember of the very first Victory Day, and the lead up to it.

Jeans and denim: evergreen picks

There are limits to how much one can stretch a piece of jeans. Thankfully, the same does not hold true for how much one can push it up the fashion barometer. A piece of cotton denim, as far as styling goes, is timeless and as relevant today as it was...mmm...always!

Timeless

For the past few years, brides have chosen bejewelled pieces as their style statements. While they still reign supreme, there is a slow trend moving back to good old gold, in their myriad forms and hues even.

The Second Act

While it is possible to buy four to five different saris, just for the sake of it, there are reasons to put some good thought into your purchases. Remember, the post weddings’ Second Act is where you once again emerge as a couple, and there needs to be coordination between you two.

The Bride’s Sidekick

This a glorious time, when the fabulously well-heeled fashionistas of Dhaka city turn out in their festive best, and sprinkle their heady stardust wherever they go.

LEGENDS OF THE SHERWANI

The sherwani is a classic. The evolution has been so dramatic that it is now irrelevant to search for its roots to claim it as one of our own. A sharp-cut piece is as fashionable today as it was two hundred years ago at the durbars of nawabs and maharajas.

Nawabs, Maharajas Valiant men

Weddings are a celebration of life, and a chance for the bride and the groom to share the flair on stage, as they embark on a journey together, hand in hand.

Curls of wisdom

Take a good hard look at the mirror, at that lifeless, uncooperative mop on your head that has been through a decade’s worth of chemical products, treatments, heating tools, and resulted in frizzy, dry, brittle, and lacklustre locks.

A wind of change in fashion industry

Our hope with the campaign has been to encourage reliance on local products, boosting productivity, economic development, and creativity, while encouraging the concept of conscious living — which promotes the understanding that we are all in this together and for a better world.

Twinkle Twinkle little Trinkets

Do not think that this is isolated to just women, as more and more men are accessorising their outfits with different trinkets to highlight their style.
