It is late December and the night has already merged with the dark waters of the Hooghly. Neon lights from the long barge of The Bengal Paddle casts columns of light into the river. As Indian designer Anamika Khanna steps aboard, the evening seems to awaken. Framed by the Howrah Bridge and the trembling waters of the Hooghly river, the grand finale of theBlenders Pride Fashion Tour 2025, powered by the Fashion Design Council of India, unfolds against the city skyline aboard one of The Bengal Paddle’s barges last Saturdayon December 20, 2025 (name of the place where the event was held). Showcasing her AK|OK collection in her home city, fashion designer Anamika Khanna promises a runway moment shaped as much by the place as herby futuristic designs. (when was the event held?)
