AN ODYSSEY WITH ISSEY

If design delights you, 47-A in Mumbai’s iconic Khotachiwadi is probably already on your radar. The space was founded by designer-curator Srila Chatterjee’s Baro Market and C&L Design from the art gallery Chatterjee & Lal, and has had some very interesting shows in its first year of operation. The latest, titled Clothes That Changed the World, has been curated by architect Ratan J. Batliboi and features clothes by legendary Japanese designer Issey Miyake, whose construction can almost be called architectural.

The show delves into one woman’s odyssey with Issey. The late Mina Krishnan, a businesswoman, was enchanted by the freedom that the label represented and collected a number of Miyake pieces over three decades. After her demise last year (coincidentally the same year that Miyake passed away), her husband and daughter decided to share the garments so that more people could enjoy them. A few are on sale, the proceeds of which will go to Child Rights and You (CRY).
