Pallavi Mohan to exhibit creations in Kolkata

Fashion designer Pallavi Mohan will be showcasing the pre-fall and autumn-winter runway 2016 collections under her ‘Not So Serious’ brand with a two-day solo exhibition starting on July 29 in The Space at 9/2, Kolkata.

Mohan said, "I have always had a nostalgic connection with Kolkata growing up here. I spent all my summer vacations here as a child. Being close to home, I knew everyone there, it's a place I can relate to and that has had a great influence on me as a person.”

"Even as a market, Kolkata is surprisingly trendy. I actually think that Kolkata is trendier and Delhi girls are more experimental. The city is by far my largest market in India," she added.

For this exhibit, the designer has collaborated with two of her friends, Anahita Kayan and Ekta Agrawal who are the hosts for her exhibition. They have exclusively created a customised space to suit the look of the brand. Mohan's creations involve the juxtaposition of plain and surface ornamentation, intense colours and interludes of breathing space.

Woolen tweeds, soft velvet, silk organza and satins form the core of the autumn-winter 2016 collection. Mohan’s collections under her label are also available for purchase online.
