In collaboration with the Consulate General of Italy and the Ministry of Culture, Government of India, the evening brought to the fore designer Rohan Pariyar’s interpretations of 15th and 16th-Century aesthetics from the Italian Renaissance, with a particular nod to the couture worn by the women of Florence’s influential Medici family. Titled “I Medici”, the 45-minute showcase presented 35 ensembles, each crafted in Rohan Pariyar’s Kolkata atelier and meticulously embroidered with over 2,000 hours of zardozi and cutdana work by a design team from the city.
