Designer Sharbar iDutta now branches into sportswear

In a break from draping models and clients with her robes, internationally known fashion designer Sharbari Duttta will design scarves for the runners of a city marathon.
"I had never been part of a show as such. But in a city of increasing fitness fad, I am more than willing to design stoles for all the winners of the Tata Steel 25K Marathon.
The stoles, having the Sharbari Dutta imprint, will be made of silk and kantha work, hand designers and hand -stitched, the soft spoken male style conceiver said.
"Kantha work being very traditional and from our land, it will serve good memory for the winners," Sharbari said.

Recalling her talks with the organizers, Sharbari, one of the faces of the marathon, said "I was very happy when they explained to me about the 25K which is the accredited route in the country and a running event like this would give people of Kolkata another sport to celebrate and come together as one.
"The promoters of the event approached me. They had the concept of presenting the winners something that would be symbolic to the rich culture and tradition of the city," Sharbari said.
