With the elegant Bong beauty Raima Sen as show-stopper, ace designer Sarbari Dutta's son Amalin says he will love to do more experiementation in women's wear with Indian fabrics woven in western style.

Amalin, having launched his signature label, said, "I have been hugely influenced by mom I picked up the skill about how to conjure the available scraps into a flowing robe after working with her."

Amalin, who would host a bridal collection show in city very soon with leading models and Tollywood beauties, "While mom Sarbari's forte is men's wear where she infused elegance and variety since the 90s,I wished to create alternative forms of experience."
 

"I love to extol the femininity of women, their innate beauty, to make them feel (as) the princess and queen with my wear, and I source my materials from tassar, raw silk, khadi, jameswar, Benaras brocade," Amalin, who thinks women can be more adventurous in sartorial matters, said.

Danceuse-turned activist having introduced culture therapy in the lives of prisoners including life convicts in jails Alakananda Roy said, "Instead of harping on women's wear and men's wear let's put it that way both men and women look awesome and confident when they carry the accessories in style. Style is your own statement."

Alakananda,fondly called 'Maa' by the convicts with whom she is staging Mokshagati in different places now, smiled when complimented for her own individual style statement. "I like orange colours, " she said.

"The show epitomized the beauty of Bengali women," fashion guru Prasad Bidappa,, choreographer of the show, said.

"I don't produce for chain stores at a mass level. My designs are meant for meeting individual demand," Amalin said as a beevey of leading models from Satarupa Pyne, Indrani Dasgupta, Ushoshi, Sona Goldar blazed the aqua-hued ramp.
