THE LOOK

SABYASACHI

MUKHERJEE

One of the most distinguished designers in India,
Sabyasachi Mukherjee’s exquisite couture has become
every bride’s dream. His work is inspired by India’s diverse
culture, particularly his hometown, Kolkata. Blending a
variety of styles using unique fabrics, textures, patchwork
and embellishments, his collection includes elaborate
anarkalis, saris and a mix of traditional and contemporary
gowns. He has given new meaning to bridal wear by adding
glamour to classic Indian silhouettes.

Let’s take a look at what he has to say…

How would you describe the brand’s latest collection?
“This year, we revealed our new Spring Summer 2019
collection called ‘Fiza,’ which features a variety of fuss-free
caftans, lehengas, togas and organdy saris. The collection
brings in an entirely different style, which is effortless
and graceful with delicate florals, low-cut blouses and

statement chokers. Our new groomswear also gets a
makeover with florals, anarkalis and pastels. The colour

palette moves from earthy neutrals to sorbet hues and
features dark shades of rouge.”

In your opinion, what should brides-to-be wear?
“Personally, I keep coming back to khadi. For me, it is the
equivalent of wellness and nothing can be more luxurious
than that. Many of my most discerning customers globally
have also chosen to wear khadi lehengas for their wedding
and they are the ones I am most proud of. I believe a khadi
lehenga, combined with Indian jewellery and flowers,

creates a very potent and timeless image.”
