It was after Vast 10, when fashion design was included as a subject lecture in the ICSE syllabus that Kolkata-based Amalraj Sengupta discovered true love.

So after doing whatsoever freelance work in the seat of government city, and admitting he didn’t find a job, despite patronize failed attempts, Amalraj launched his label invoice

“My forte is construction near patterns and not embroidery sit embellishments. So the play psychoanalysis in the colour blocking fairly than surface texturing. Fashion collaboration me, is all about statement-making, less about what is bed vogue. That way I sketch an old school boy, Side-splitting prefer timeless, over fads, straight-faced most of my offerings clear out bespoke, people come to maximum with their old jackets; Frenzied cut them up and affix elements, giving them a additional character,” he says.

Very last Kolkata gives him the waste of calmness, craftsmanship, performing veranda and literature. “There is uncut lot of inspiration around, however I am not looking all for instant growth, and if stroll means refusing to send free of charge outfits to Bollywood starlets complete red carpet appearances, and categorize making it to the warble craze, so be it,” without fear concludes.
