Sabyasachi 25th anniversary

To mark his milestone in the fashion industry, Sabyasachi held a runway show that showcased his new collection and the who’s who of Bollywood were in attendance for it!

On Saturday evening, Indian designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee celebrated his 25th anniversary in the fashion industry with a grand fashion show that took place at the NMACC. Thanks to Diet Sabya, our very own fashion spy, we had up close and exclusive details from the event. Everything from the decor, the set, to the clothes designed by him reflected the Calcutta he grew up in. When the guests entered, it felt like they were in a small North Kolkata Bonedi with clothes hanging above them on a railing. The food was desserts and charcuterie boards. Coming to the show, a set was built in which there’s a fountain in the middle, resembling the Victoria memorial in Kolkata. The lions around the fountain were replaced by the Bengal tigers which is Sabyasachi’s trademark. Throughout the set, you could the tiger motifs placed everywhere and huge statues of it even around the food. 

The clothes, as usual, were no short of extravagant but it was surprising to see that the quintessential Sabyasachi lehenga was given a rest on his 25th anniversary. Instead, he went for a more Indo-Western collection. It was 10% Indian and 90% western as he had a more global audience in mind. The styling was a masterclass at excess OTT and camp. In fact even the jewellery was all designed by him and proves why he is worthy of being an Indian luxury brand. Deepika Padukone opened the show looking stunning as ever, she wore a monochrome white ensemble consisting of tailored pants paired with an oversized trench coat. Her look was completed with oversized glasses, layered necklaces, and a bold hairdo. Ever since she walked the ramp, all social media can talk about is how similar she looks to Rekha.

90s supermodel Christy Turlington was also one for the models and she closed the show. She wore a black oversized sweatshirt with beige pants and a long necklace covering the front of her ensemble. From the collection and based on what the attendees wore as well, it looks like the focus this time was more on the jewellery than the clothes. As the show began, Bengali songs from Tasher Desh, a musical play by Rabindranath Tagore played in the background. The lyrics from the songs gave out messages of victory and triumph and maybe it was Sabyasachi’s way of telling the world that Indian fashion will take over the world soon!
