Sabyasachi returns to New York Fashion Week, says India should no longer be the West’s ‘invisible engine’

Lifestyle

  • Sabyasachi returned to New York Fashion Week NYFW after nearly two decades with his 72-look collection.
  • The collection, Bengal Byzantine Broadway, mixed Western clothing with Indian embroidery, silk and jewellery.
  • India has long supplied embroidery, weaving and stone-cutting to Western luxury houses, often without owning the brand name.
  • Sabyasachi wants Indian craftsmanship to build Indian-owned global luxury brands, instead of staying behind Western labels.
