Sabyasachi Mukherjee, the name is enough to create ripples. Simple inimitable-Sabyasachi has been making waves in the Indian fashion horizon for some time now. After completing high school from St. Xaviers, he graduated from NIFT Kolkata with three major awards in 1999. Next, he launched his own label. In 2001, Sabyasachi won the Femina British Council Most Outstanding Young Designer of India Award and this took him to London for an internship with Georgina Von Etzdorf, a designer based in Salisbury.
With international apprenticeship under his hat, he made a mark on the International scene as well. Being the only Indian designer invited to showcase at the Milan Fashion Week 2004, he got voted by Asia Inc., a Singapore based business magazine as one of the ten most influential Indians in Asia. Truly a global designer, Sabyasachi today is a brand himself sought-after by the fashion aficionados from around the world.
The collection at Bridal Asia October 2007 consists of Sabyasachi’s staples- namely lehangas, angarkhas and heavy kurtas and his signature style saris. With an emphasis on bringing in dynamism in colour combinations, which hitherto did not exist in the Indian Bridal, wear genre, this collection is inspired by the intricacy and beauty of traditional Indian folk motifs. Exuding the complexities of Indian heritage and culture: textiles borrowing heavily from the Mughal gharana and the Avadhi royalty, his collection in definitely one to look out for.
