74
1974. The rebellious Calcuttan. Amore Libero all along the hippie trail. Flower power, euphoric communes and wayward dreams. An era of chaos, style and icons.
THE TOLLY
The club culture of Calcutta. Private codes of sophistication, modernity and classic glamour. Of lounging men and ladies playing mahjong in starched saris. Old world opulence—restored and reclaimed.
THE SUDDER
A poet’s muse and the traveller’s camp. A street in Calcutta of drifters and dreamers, artists and rebels. Packed with lazy sun-soaked cafes, vinyl records and leather bound books—the easy elegance of wisdom and the constant hum of counter culture.
