After a short break, Tantra’s fashion fiesta is back with a bang. Tonight is the turn of fashion label Lecoanet Hemant to take the makeshift ramp in the nightclub at The Park. This is the first time the label is showcasing in Calcutta and they make their city debut with The Red Carpet Collection. “This collection is basically an extract of the best of what we are doing at the moment,” Hemant told t2. Come Saturday night and guests at the show will get to witness 36 looks on nine models. “There will be a bit of everything — from simple office-wear to cocktail numbers to red carpet dresses — all the designs will be glamorous without being over the top,” explained Hemant. There will also be an opening show by Adikriti.
