Instagram works in mysterious ways. On one hand, it's a world cringing with TMI in which everyone seems to be on a steroid-induced euphoria, 24/7. On the other hand, a useful news platform. Sitar player and composer Anoushka Shankar's recent Insta post suggests that Olivia Harrison, wife of George Harrison of the Beatles, has bought Sabyasachi's bohemia-inspired rickshaw called Calcutta '74. Anoushka shared an image of her mother Sukanya Shankar taking charge of the handlebar, while Harrison settled in the passenger seat of the rickshaw. Courtesy, The Sabyasachi Art Foundation, the auto's artwork acknowledges the designer's relentless love affair with '70s fashion, the Coromandel Coast chintz, Masulipatnam Kalamkari and folk art from Bengal. Its title, Calcutta '74, however is Sabyasachi's hat tip to the year he was born.
