"The harbinger of another revival in Bengali fashion is surely Sharbari Dutta, who essentially is an artist and doesn’t fall in to a generic category of fashion designers. Sharbari being bred in an environment of creative synergies poured out her elements in her work and the Bangali Pungob needs to thank her if they have come out of the drudgery of the bleak world of stripes and checks

. Sharbari rose above all cultural conditioning and handheld men into a world of colours which they would otherwise abhor. And today when a bridegroom wears a green embroidered dhoti, it is surely a testimonial to the fact that Sharbari has dispelled the myth of masculine wardrobe. Be it metrosexuals or ubersexuals, Sharbari has always celebrated manhood using folk-art like Madhubani paintings, Egyptian hieroglyphs, African tribal motifs, Greco-Roman relief, Persian and Arabian scripts.

Sharbari’s fashion show was one of the crowd pullers on the 29^th NABC held in San jose CA. It was not a typical fashion show, but it was a panorama of Bengal’s fashion development over the years. The show emphasized on traditional Bengal weaves like Tussar, Garad and Khadi silk. Sharbari’s creation showcased a huge selection for men consisting of smart jackets with silk shirts that can be worn with trousers. The women’s wear was designed by Jaya Mishra and Dev r Nil. The whole show was choreographed by Prasad Bidappa. Prasad did a wonderful job of grooming the local girls in just two days and made them walk on the ramp. The outcome was a glittering extravaganza.
