Sabyasachis' bridal collection for the season unveiled at the lakme fashion week 2008 was simply breathtaking. Tradition met with elegance and style expressing the spirit and feninity of the quintessential Indian woman.
The wine coloured velvet ramp, ornate chandeliers and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khans' voicw added to the magic.
Shararas, lehengas, floor length angarkhas, kurtas, kurtis, waist coats with shawl lapels, glittering dupattas and odhnis, shimmering flowing pajamas, saris in all their ethnic splendour –
the rich fabrics, stylishly ethnic prints sometimes embellished, sometimes mixed and matched with contrasting pattis in vibrant rich colors and prints so typical of the babu moshai spelt regality in every way.
Silhouettes for the kurtas revived the vintage glamour of the Mughal era as hemlines nearly kissed the floor or rose to knee level. The mix of churidars, ghagras, kurtas and waistcoats topped with a dupatta could look unconventional, but when put together so perfectly by Sabyasachi they created unusal combinations that were modern but unmistakably traditional.
The fabrics ranged from cotton, silk, chiffon, georgette, brocades to lush velvets which were blended together for different segments of each garment. Pants, printed and fluid were teamed with lean long kurtas or rustic Rajasthan blouses.
The finale creation - a black multi-paneled patterned silk lehenga with exquisite glittering embroidery worn with a glittering blouse and odhani was the showstopper as Sukhvinder Singh ended the show with his deeply rustic and rich voice.
