Windows, a new line of couture under the brand Moksha, hosted a special preview exhibition recently to celebrate its launch, in association with The Telegraph. Conceptualised by interdisciplinary artiste Sujoy Prosad Chatterjee in collaboration with Shampa Mukherji of Moksha, the line is all about blending art with fashion, an initiative championed by the platform Moksha. The line has six pure silk saris, inspired by the cycles of seasons one experiences through windows and six tussore kurtas which are based on the metaphor of windows used in popular music. The collection is not only about representing aesthetics but also induces empathy and builds up a much-needed environmental consciousness among people. Patrons at the exhibition enjoyed the vivid storytelling through fashion, which poignantly struck a chord in everyone. Snapshots.

“You can see a clear predominance of nature and colours in this collection, as it has always been a fascinating subject for me,” said Shampa Mukherji, owner of Moksha. Sujoy Prosad Chatterjee, conceptualiser of Windows, said: “I have always admired how there is a confluence of the arts in Shampadi’s designs for Moksha. So, when I was playing with the idea of creating my own fashion line, she was my go-to person. After lots of discussions, seasons came into play as I have found Tagore’s Ritu Utsab, with the message of environmental conservation, to be very inspiring for this.”
