sabyasachi mukherjee












Possibly the only indian designer to understand colors and combining the pallette with the right cut and putting them together without unnecessary fringes and embellishments, without catering to the whims of the market and yet at the same time being commercially successful as well.
Bridal wear was given a fresh lease of life with tradition marrying modernism. Rich
embroideries and boring zardozi being replaced with delicately textured tanchois and silks and even cotton tussars in vivid reds, bright fuschias, sunny yellows and rich purples woven together so intelligently that simple prints and plains together began to create the illusion of a heavily worked piece- and soon it became the signature style of sabyasachi.

For the first time one saw Rani mukherjee look dignified and dressed appropriately whenever she wore his creations- be it in films or off it.
His showing at the new york fashion week thi september saw Revolutionary symbols from Russia and Cuba on the clothes,multiple layering,indian fabrics in revolutionary colors of khaki, burnt orange and forest green. Though whether the message sent was one of evolutionor revolution by way of cultural is a bit confusing.
