Rediscovering Tagore Inspired Fashion Show

In 2015, I designed the billboards and souvenirs for the “Rediscovering Tagore” series, organized by the British Council to celebrate Rabindranath Tagore’s 150th birth anniversary. The series culminated in a dazzling fashion show at BICC on April 3rd, showcasing Tagore’s unique fashion sense. Known for his literary genius, Tagore also had a distinctive style that set him apart from his contemporaries. This fashion show aimed to highlight this often-overlooked aspect of Tagore’s legacy, with nine renowned designers presenting their creations inspired by his influence. The design process involved extensive research into Tagore’s fashion, literary works, and their visual representations. The billboards were crafted to be visually captivating, combining typography and imagery that reflected Tagore’s unique style and the event’s theme. The souvenirs, including programs and mementos, were designed to be memorable keepsakes that captured the essence of the celebration. The event successfully showcased Tagore’s fashion influence, drawing significant attention and appreciation from the audience, while the promotional materials played a key role in conveying the historical and cultural significance of Tagore’s fashion legacy.
