When Sabyasachi dived into the world of fashion as afresh graduate 20 years ago, he was pretty much a hit! But a one-time wonder he wasn’t. The designer has constantly pushed and motivated himself to carve a place from himself in the Indian fashion industry. His full-sleeved chollis with conservative necklines were once deemed to be regressive but today have a status that’s almost iconic, recreated by other designers as well. Sabyasachi was always biased towards bridal couture. So when the designer announced that he would be showcasing a ready-to-wear resort wear collection, everyone were surprised but mostly intrigued. Would his resort-wear collection be just as opulent and grand? Would it be well-received? The answer is yes, both times. His fans from Bollywood are many and pretty darn loyal – not only did they make it as attendees to his 20 years anniversary show, they also chose to wear his latest collection. And let’s face it, Bollywood celebrities in Sabyasachi ensembles is big news in the Indian fashion scene. So here’s a bunch of celebs, pretty much killing it in the Sabyasachi Resort Wear Collection 2019 ensembles, that you would take a minute for you to believe belong to the designer.
