INTERVIEW / Rifat Munim on Bangladeshi fiction: ‘This is a diverse terrain you are going to tread on’

In the foreword, I wanted to capture how I, as a child, grew up listening to different stories: ghost stories, mythical stories from both Sanatana and Islamic religious scriptures, and fairy tales from 'Thakurmar Jhuli', compiled by Dakkhinaranjan Mitra Majumdar. It was a time when there were no boundaries for my imagination.

TAAGA — Unapologetically fashionable

Launched for the youth and keeping their unbounded energy in mind, TAAGA has inspired the younger fashion enthusiasts over the years, to no end. Where Aarong is a more mature mother brand, TAAGA is the impulsive, joyful sub-brand that is always experimenting and flying out of her comfort zone. This time too, TAAGA’s Eid drop is eclectic, daring and classy, much like its wearers. Inspired by the latest street fashion trends, TAAGA’s new collection has a lot going for it, from geometric to abstract prints and patterns.

Aarong — Fashion through the ages

Seldom have brands fit into consumers’ lives as seamlessly as Aarong, and no Eid is ever complete without a few choice pieces from the local brand that has now made its mark in the USA, UK, Australia, Germany, UAE and Singapore too. With 25 retail outlets across Bangladesh, Aarong has become a household name known for its employment of rural artisans in its manufacturing processes, its high-quality products and it’s refreshing take on ethnic patterns. Its latest Eid collection is no exception.
