Sabyasachi is one the most loved designers in the country and not without reason. His designs are breathtaking and when it comes to bridal trousseau, there are not many who can beat his charm. 

Now we’ve all seen him opting for reds and blues, but his new summer collection will take you by surprise. ‘An Endless Summer’ as he describes is divided into three themes — florals, bright colors and a lineup of ivory and gold looks inspired by Lutyens’ Delhi.

From lighter to brighter, Sabyasachi Mukherjee released his latest bridal collection for spring summer 2018 on his Instagram page.  

Going the floral way.

The heartland of India wears ‘cheent’. In other words, printed cotton. As I travel down gypsy trails in pursuit of ‘banjaras’, meander through the ‘gullies’ of Benaras or simply take a tram-car ride across central Calcutta, I find cheent everywhere. Amongst gypsies and prostitutes, the common man on the road, the young and the old. It peeps out as box pleated petticoats under humble sarees, decorates the walls of decadent homes, makes an appearance on a battered umbrella, canvas slippers, lamp shades, ‘mem-saheb’ dresses, badly stitched bags or sometimes even as faded café curtains blocking the view of a voyeuristic eye. And therefore, I have an obsession with cheent. It makes an appearance again and again in my collections, almost every summer. This time as summer blooms painted by The Sabyasachi Art Foundation. In hyper-volatile colours. Printed in fine khadi to create languid kurtas and sarees embellished with ‘tilla’ borders. Combined with reflective sunnies, shimmering skin and dangling chandbalis, they evoke a potent and sexual image of a tropical summer.

Love how the men are carrying it so

Absolutely breathtaking Sabyasachi brides!

The future of a summer bride.

A wedding by the pool, anyone? 

Beauties in bright colours.

I have an obsession for Shikargah etchings and paintings. And I have an even bigger obsession for Shikargah sarees from Benaras. For the uninitiated, the word ‘Shikargah’ is of Persian origin and depicts a game preserve. Regional flora and fauna and royal hunting scenes are either vividly or abstractly depicted. In our effort to preserve silk screen printing in West Bengal, we created these 29 colour Shikargah prints for our organza sarees. Each saree takes over 9 hours for 2 printers to finish and in today’s time the complication of production easily elevates it to modern couture. Our models are styled with beautiful old world blouses, heritage South Indian jewellery studded with Burmese rubies (from the Sabyasachi Heritage Jewelry Collection) and retro sunglasses for added quirk.

With destination weddings becoming a norm, redefining bridal wear becomes a necessity.

Destination weddings are quite shaping the future of bridal wear. Taking cues from our heritage, and marrying them to contemporary needs, we at Sabyasachi are constantly redefining Indian bridal wear. ‘An Endless Summer’ is almost a ready-to-wear take on bridal couture. Effortless chic being the buzzword, the clothes are lighter, brighter, measured and sophisticated. Post Anushka’s wedding, the new beauty trend is ‘au naturel’. Colour gets out of make-up completely and dives into clothes. An imperceptible flush on the cheek, glossy and glassy lips, mirrored sunnies, open hair and statement jewellery create the new look. Wear colour with confidence and mash it up with panache.

Super contrasting colour block softened on the edges with diaphanous hand-printed dupattas. Eclectic uncut diamond jewellery from the Sabyasachi Heritage Collection, winking under the summer sun. On Him: A textured white sherwani with house buttons and a chanderi safa. A Sabyasachi house classic.
