Kolkata Fashion Walk - 2
All of us have heard about ramp walk, photo walk and even ghost walk but, did we ever hear anything such as a Fashion Walk? No, right? A Fashion Walk is an initiative by Tribonista to let people know about the fashion culture of Kolkata.

After a huge success of the first fashion walk, Tribonista in collaboration with The Swiss Laundry and Pen Twister came up with the second edition of the Kolkata Fashion Walk with more number of bloggers.
I was lucky enough to be a part of this walk which took place on the 2nd of September, 2017. The theme of the event was " Street style with a tinge of Kolkata." I was both nervous and excited for it. Prior to the walk, we had a small session with keynote speakers like Pen Twister (Nikita), Srishti Nadhani, Pout Prettty (Dolon) and Panushwari (Poorna Banerjee) on blogging. Trust me, we got to learn a lot from them.
Some of the key points from the discussion were :
- Not to buy followers.
- To think before posing for a brand you are associating with.
- To write blogs as often as possible.
- To invest in your own domain name.
After that, we had a fun photo-shoot for a subscription box called Pooch Box.
Before getting started with the main part, all the bloggers were divided into four groups and were asked to hunt for the fashion places. Yes, you heard it right! We literally had a Fashion Hunt contest where we had to hunt for 26 fashion spots in and around Elgin road.
The spots were:
1) Geeta circle-33/1 B Sarat Bose Road

Any event is incomplete without food. We were dead tired after the long walk and food came to our rescue.
Also, prizes were distributed on the following category:
1) Best Dressed
2) Social media king/queen
3) Best picture clicked with the prop (Prop from the PoochBox)
4) The one who reached first
Even after being so tired, we did not complain at all. Because honestly, through this event, we got to learn a lot, got to meet new people and most importantly made memories and friends.
That's all about Kolkata Fashion Walk 2.
