Summer of 1999, Sabyasachi Mukherjee graduated from the National Institute of Fashion Technology, India with three major awards. Four months later, Sabyasachi started his eponymous label. Early 2001, Sabyasachi won the Femina British Councils most outstanding Young Designer of India award, which took him to London for an internship with Georgina Von Etzdorf. Sabyasachi has traversed a career path that has taken him out of Kolkata to the buzzing fashion circles of Milan and New York. His design philosophy is simple “Personalized imperfection of the human hand”. He believes that clothes should be an extension of ones intellect. Sabyasachi describes his own collections as international styling with an Indian soul. In his designs, he tries to maintain a non-commercial balance in an extremely aggressive, commercial and competitive industry.
Sabyasachi sells out of six flagship stores and various multi-designer stores in India. His future plans include establishing a contemporary clothing brand for mass India which employs and thrives on weavers and artisans at a grassroot level. Sabyasachi aspires to grow a people tree enterprise that encompasses Indian tradition, culture, and history and converts it into an intellectually and aesthetically inspirational global super brand.
