Kolkata, 26 July 2025: Kolkata shimmered with glamour and grandeur as the Chamak Dhamak Fashion & Lifestyle Exhibition made a resplendent return with its much-awaited Kolkata edition. Held over two days July 26 and 27 at the iconic ITC Royal Bengal, the luxury trunk show brought together an elite gathering of India’s leading fashion designers, lifestyle curators, socialites, and influencers.
The event was inaugurated in the presence of Shri Kalyan Banerjee, Member of Parliament from Serampore, who lent gravitas to an already high-profile affair. Prominent faces from Kolkata’s style and influencer circles Uzma Firoz, Naheed Begum, and several others graced the event, adding sparkle to the runway of revival.
More than just a glitzy showcase, Chamak Dhamak championed a noble mission to revive India’s rich fashion heritage, spotlighting intricate handwoven textiles, indigenous embroidery styles, and eco-conscious craftsmanship that are often eclipsed by the glare of mass-produced fashion.
Over 60 premium designer and lifestyle brands participated, offering exclusive collections that balanced traditional Indian aesthetics with contemporary innovation. From timeless silhouettes to modern reinterpretations of age-old weaving techniques, every stall told a story of India’s unparalleled fashion legacy.
The exhibition was curated by Mrs. Arti Modi and Mr. Sumit Banka, in collaboration with Green Entertainment, the official event partner.
Speaking on the occasion, Mazhar Badgujar, Founder of Green Entertainment, emphasized the event’s deeper ethos:
“Chamak Dhamak isn’t just an exhibition it’s a movement. A space where style meets soul, where we honour our artisans and traditions while offering a modern, sustainable shopping experience.”
Organizers Arti Modi and Sumit Banka echoed this sentiment:
“Kolkata is a city steeped in culture, art, and history. We wanted to give its people an immersive experience that celebrates fashion with a conscience. Chamak Dhamak is about creating meaningful luxury where every fabric whispers a story and every design honours a legacy.”
What truly set the Kolkata edition apart was its vibrant, festival-like ambience. Visitors were treated to live styling sessions, plush lounge zones, and glam photo booths, creating an immersive, interactive experience beyond the average exhibition.
With curated labels, cultural narratives, and a spotlight on sustainability, the Chamak Dhamak Exhibition didn’t just showcase fashion it redefined it. In every sense, it became a destination where design met dialogue, couture embraced culture, and fashion found its deeper, soulful calling.
