Rotary Club of Calcutta Chowrenghee organised Parampara Promenade in association with The Telegraph, a fashion and lifestyle exhibition at The Oberoi Grand on March 15 and 16. With an eclectic selection of carefully-curated, high-quality collections from designer brands across the country, it presented a comprehensive shopping experience. From festive wear to jewellery, footwear and even gift items, the exhibition was a one-stop shopping destination for Calcuttans. Proceeds from the exhibition were given away to the Rotary Club of Calcutta Chowrenghee’s charity projects. The Telegraph dropped by and handpicked some that are perfect for your home and wardrobe, for the upcoming summer season.
