26th June 2017 –Wrick Baba aka Thread Baba conducts a three-day exhibition, starting from 24th till 26th June, amidst the setting of a Tram depot in Gariahat in Kolkata which is in a deplorable condition of survival. The event was graced by special guests like Debashish Mallik Chowdhury, Tirtha Sunder Biswas and his band Sohoj Manush, Mrs. Suparna Mukherjee, Piyali Ganguly, Dr. Moumita Majumder Datta, and Priyabrata Bera.
The concept delves with rejuvenating old Kolkata and its heritage of which tram is one and the upcoming fashion designer Wrick Baba or Thread Baba realizes the dearth of upholding traditional fabrics. Gamcha is one of the oldest fabric materials which are adopted by Thread Baba in all his apparel designs. Self-learned and a follower of Bibi Russels, Wrick plans to work with his project worldwide. While talking to Woman Times he says, “Bibi Russels always fantasized me and I took inspiration from her but with a different approach. The Gamcha is a material where thread count is less but I improvised on that note and increased the thread count without compromising on the Gamcha material.” The dress materials range from Rs. 500 to Rs. 5,000.
Tirtha Biswas was present throughout the event for three days gracing the event with his musical band ‘Sohoj Manush’. He was also the show stopper for these days wearing a designer kurta, black and white checked waistcoat and a Gamcha turban all by Thread Baba. Special guests like Mrs. Suparna Mukherjee (Mrs. India Queen of Substance Classic 2017 and the Brand Ambassador of Woman Times), Dr. Moumita Majumder Datta (the Artist Director India & Canada for Nritya Bharati Global) along with the songs of Tirtha Biswas created an ambiance of the cultural evening dancing to his tunes. Debashish Mallik Chowdhury (Painter) and Priyabrata Bera (President of Jungle Mahal Udyog) were also present on the first day of the event.
Tea served in earthen cups, drizzling rain and a musical evening wrapped the fashion exhibition held inside the tram in the tram depot in Kolkata.
