Priyanka Mallick: Story of a young talented fashion designer who made the nation proud

Hooghly (West Bengal):Harit – a quaint village in Hooghly district in West Bengal, nestled 45 km away from Kolkata was painted red since morning as Priyanka Mallick – a talented young designer from the village has designed the breath-taking red gown with a delicate rose pattern that the queen will wear in the consort of the coronation ceremony.

Priyanka’s talent and hard work have paid off in spades, as Priyanka has been invited by the British High Commission to attend the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla. The invitation came from as far away as London, and Priyanka has joined the event virtually since morning.

The dress designed by Priyanka for the queen's consort is a breathtaking red gown with a delicate rose pattern, perfectly suited for the grandeur of the occasion. The queen herself has expressed her gratitude to Priyanka from Birmingham, and the butterfly brooch worn by King Charles III during his inauguration was also designed by the talented designer from Hooghly.

Speaking to ETV Bharat, Mallick said, "I am invited to join the King and Queen's coronation. But I am unable to attend it physically, so I will be a part of it virtually. I am launching some of the exclusive designs from my branch here about the king and queen's coronation. I will join an event locally organised by the British Deputy High Commission.”

Elaborating on her efforts to design the dress, Priyanka said, "It is really a good feeling once in a lifetime. I had a contact with Buckingham Palace in early 2022. The conversation then continued and the queen appreciated my design and sent me the letter. It is really a happy moment for me and my family."

"I will go to Kolkata to an event organised by the British Deputy High Commission. They have invited me and have done all my travel arrangements," she added. Priyanka, a graduate of esteemed universities such as Milan, Italy, Harvard, and Stanford University, USA, has made a name for herself in the world of fashion design, and her latest achievement is nothing short of spectacular.

Priyanka's love for designing and drawing began in her childhood, and it was the impeccable style of Queen Elizabeth's wardrobe that captivated her imagination. As she grew up, Priyanka honed her skills in the fashion industry and pursued an international fashion designing course virtually, which brought her work to the attention of industry experts.

It's no wonder that Priyanka's designs have received praise from none other than Buckingham Palace itself. Her exclusive designs for the king and queen, which can be seen on the British Government website, have left the royal family thoroughly impressed, and Priyanka couldn't be prouder.

As the coronation ceremony continues at Buckingham Palace, Priyanka's family, and friends back home in Harit are filled with excitement and anticipation. This young girl from a small village has captured the hearts of the British monarchy and made her mark in the fashion industry, all through her passion and talent for design.
