Sabyasachi Mukherjee’s line, modesty impresses LFW audience

After mesmerizing the Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) audience with his creative brilliance, renowned designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee tugged at their heart strings when he made his entire team walk the runway with him. Seated in the front row were bigwigs like Vidya Balan, Rahul Bose and Nawaz Singhania but the sensitive designer pulled his workforce from behind the stage and persuaded them to walk the ramp.

Aptly titled Sanctuary, Mukherjee’s collection saw a variety of outfits with designs being borrowed from countries like Russia, France, The Czech Republic, Chile, Uzbekistan and India.

“There was no motivation this time. I just jumbled up things and rolled out the collection. I thing every designer goes through an evolutionary phase when he goes beyond the inspiration factor. I like playing with Indian silhouettes to interpret the West,” he said.

Mukherjee’s palette had a riot of colours - red, green, black, white, ivory, beige, blue, orange, blue, magenta, to name a few.
