Sabyasachi Mukherjee is a visionary Indian fashion designer, couturier, and entrepreneur whose namesake label has become a global emblem of luxury and heritage. His design philosophy, centered on the "personalised imperfection of the human hand" and an "International styling with an Indian soul," has positioned him at the forefront of the industry. He is the only Indian designer to be a part of all three leading fashion weeks: New York, Milan, and London.
A graduate of the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), Mukherjee quickly gained international acclaim, winning the Grand Winner Award at the Mercedes-Benz New Asia Fashion week in 2003, which led to a workshop with Jean Paul Gaultier. His work is revered for its unique contribution: pioneering the use of high-end luxury Indian textiles and classical methods like bandhani and Kantha embroidery in modern silhouettes. His designs have graced numerous Bollywood films, including Guzaarish and English Vinglish.
His influence extends into global luxury and cultural preservation. He has collaborated with international giants like Christian Louboutin for footwear and Bergdorf Goodman New York for jewelry. His dedication to social welfare is evident in his Save the Saree project, which retails hand-woven Indian saris on a non-profit basis, with the entire proceeds going to the weavers of Murshidabad. He also holds the distinction of being the youngest board member of the National Museum of Indian Cinema. His impact continues to be felt in high-profile collaborations, such as designing the wardrobe for Shah Rukh Khan at the 2025 Met Gala, an outfit intended to empower the megastar to express himself personally and powerfully. As a speaker, he draws on his journey to inspire creativity and entrepreneurship, demonstrating how one can blend art, rich cultural history, and meticulous design to build a truly global, exclusive, and sensitive brand.
