Don’t forget to pencil in your date with into your schedules this month. The ’s Collezione Diwali on September 30 will bring together more than 50 designers and their works. All the merchandise is reasonably priced and there’s plenty of festive wear too.
Chhuti & Raja
Chhuti has carved a niche for herself in the fashion world after setting up a studio in a village in West Bengal. Creating wonderfully feminine garments, each outfit is one-of-a-kind, washed in natural vegetable dyes and hand painted in vibrant colours. With CHHUTI’s, no two designs are the same… no wonder they are always a sell-out at shows.
Tasneem Merchant
Contemporary aesthetics blended with ideas borrowed from the past on enhanced natural fibres in a fusion style is her trademark. Silhouettes are inspired by fabric drapes with finishing techniques like napping, shearing and calendering. Look out for the beige banana fibres combined with ecru and chandan in jackets, corset style dresses, layered tops and ball gowns.
Varaa-Kolkata
Looking for designer sarees for the festive season or some unique bridal wear? Varaa specialises in Basra Moti, cut work, pita work, zardosi and different kinds of embroidery too. For lehenga-cum-sarees, panel work on georgettes, shimmer, nets and other beautiful work…

She offers jewellery in 22k, 18k, studded with diamonds, coloured stones, uncut diamonds, traditional jadau, kundan and antique gold.
