Titled “Opium”, master of Couture, Sabyasachi
Mukherjee presented his exuberant and beautiful collection on Day1 of PCJ Delhi
Couture Week 2013. The designer transformed the set into a garden of an old
world mansion with empty glass bottles, hanging glass lamps
and ornate mirror frames, planters and even a antique radio that aesthetically
created the essence of vintage elegance.
The ethereal collection was a fusion of
craftsmanship that effortlessly blended the ethnic design element of West
Bengal, Karnataka, Rajasthan and Kashmir to recreate the magnificent yet subtle
elegance of 1920s. The rich fabric story ranged from khadi,French tulle,
velvet, cotton silk and lace to vintage gold.
The pieces were adorned with appliqué, hand embroidery, zardosi, floral
motifs, hand block prints,Bengal’s Tant, Ari Tari and authentic Kashmiri Tilla
work.
In a colour palette of nudes, creamy whites, orange,
peach, pink ,liquid gold and shades of blue, Sabya’s offering ranged from
sequined sarees paired with long sleeve blouses,lehengas, garaaras, bandhgalas,
sherwanis, khadi turbans,Toile de Jouy skirts,mughal coats, angrakhas and
flapper jackets to men’s churidars with floral motifs.
The designer with an eye for details lavishly used
vintage and traditional jewellery like nath, matha patti, some even dating back
to the year 1800-1900. For me the collection is timeless and elegantly extravagant
- definitely Couture at its best.
