Sabyasachi

Sabyasachi’s design philosophy is “personalised imperfection of the human hand”. Deserts, gypsies, prostitutes, antique textiles and cultural traditions of his home town, Kolkata, have been a lifelong inspiration for this designer who believes that “clothes should just be an extension of one’s intellect”. He uses unusual fabrics, texturing and detailing, fusion of styles, patch-work with embellishments in vibrant colours. His creations evoke images of ancient and medieval ages. He describes his own collections as “an International styling with an Indian soul”.

He designs crafted bridal wear and rigorously structured pieces. On occasion, to the delight of his global audiences, the designer is known to draw inspirations from the wider world, such as exotic, indigenous ethnic European art such as the colourscapes of French impressionists like Monet and Henry Matisse in his clothes.

He pioneered the use of high-end luxury Indian textiles in a modern context. His unique contribution was the use of classical methods like bandhani, gota work, block printing, hand dyeing etc. in construction of modern silhoutees. Sabyasachi is especially famous for Indian bridal wear.
