After his show, Sabyasachi Mukherjee said, “I’m a boring designer. So I decided to have some fun this time.” And that’s exactly what he did last night at Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2011. (And we’re having some fun too—we give you the runway report as a story in pictures.)
The show with outfits were in simple earthy tones, black and ivory prints, styled conservatively. But Sabyasachi was just teasing the audience. His interpretation of the women of the Sunderbans was offbeat and inspired by several decades of the last century.
In matte red lips, high buns and catty glasses, the models (and the designer) seemed to be mocking us with unexpected twists to traditional garments. Like asymmetric sleeves, pop coloured tops with floor-length skirts, umbrella-shaped shoulders, shimmering loose jumpsuits, rustic gowns…
Sabyasachi juxtaposed unlikely textures, colours, fabrics and embellishments, like gowns with rustic Indian gold-work embroidery, blocking khadi with printed cotton, even saris-cum-skirts! 
Sabyasachi used lots of khadi, hand-produced cotton, textured raw silk and even a bit of lace in detailing. Very interesting outcome!
Some of the unusual stuff:
- Short babydoll dresses with matching underpants!
- Sack dresses with deep-cut armholes
- Fabric made into a fan, fixed on the back of a blouse
- Black blouses and petticoats with colourful printed saris
The accessories of choice were statement neckpieces and stacks of bangles (both very trendy).
Even thought the show was eccentric, quirky and even a bit kinky, you would have walked out thinking, “I’d like to wear some of this!”
none of the products are wearable or have any senses.
Why donot you media people post the true pictures and why you always be the advertisement partner of these designers who always have double standard.
please for god shake stop this kind of reporting and do the justice to the journalism.
@Joy Roy– Firstly, this is not the “media”, it’s a blog, and this is not “reporting”, it’s an opinion. I have posted “true pictures”, none of them are fake. As you can see, there are no ads on my blog, and I’m not making any money from it, so I’m not the advertisement partner of any designer. And yes, you’re right, they are not wearable, but ramp clothes need not be wearable.
