Bhubaneswar: With an aim of taking Odisha weaves to a global market and making designs and culture of the State popular all around the world, doctor turned fashion designer from the State- Kumar Guru Mishra launched his apparel brand 'G' in Bhubaneswar on Sunday.

Kumar Guru Mishra's latest collection 'Chitraa Assemblage' and website were also unveiled on the occasion in presence of Ollywood actor Archita Sahu.

The collection was inspired from the age-old art of Odisha - 'Pattachitra' and was presented in a unique way to the audience. The collection was specifically crafted keeping in mind the changing tastes of people.

There is no dearth of talent in Odisha and if we want we can achieve great heights. Belonging to the land of Lord Jagannath, I believe fashion comes naturally to us. I had the dream to design couture since childhood and I have always wanted to showcase my collections. This event marks my beginning in the industry of fashion and I have attempted to create something different using the age-old art 'Pattachitra' for the first time ever and hope people love it. The new concept introduced at the ramp was loved by one and all and that was really overwhelming.
