Sabyasachi Mukherjee creates history, becomes first Indian fashion designer to walk Met Gala Red Carpet
Sabyasachi Mukherjee, a renowned Indian fashion designer, made history by being the first Indian designer to walk the Met Gala red carpet this year. His appearance at this prestigious event was not only a significant moment for him but also a proud moment for Indian fashion. Sabyasachi chose an ensemble that perfectly reflected his style and paid homage to his roots, combining traditional elements with a touch of modern flair.
For the Met Gala, Sabyasachi donned a distinctive outfit from his own Resort 2024 collection. He wore an embroidered cotton duster coat that showcased intricate patterns and designs, which are signature to his style. The coat was adorned with tourmalines, pearls, emeralds, and diamonds from Sabyasachi High Jewellery, adding an exquisite touch of luxury and opulence to his look.
His ensemble was richly layered, not just in terms of materials and jewels, but also in cultural significance. The coat’s elaborate embroidery and the use of precious stones are reminiscent of royal Indian attire, bringing a piece of Indian heritage to the global fashion stage. This look was carefully crafted to stand out and make a statement, reflecting Sabyasachi’s deep appreciation for craftsmanship.
Sabyasachi accessorised his outfit with multiple layered necklaces, also from his high jewellery collection, which included a variety of green emeralds and other coloured gems that matched the embellishments on his coat. He paired this with a white shirt and beige trousers that balanced the ornate coat, ensuring that the ensemble was elegant but not overwhelming.
The designer completed his look with a pair of classic brown leather shoes and sunglasses with pink-tinted lenses, adding a modern twist to his otherwise traditional outfit. This combination of classic and contemporary elements is what Sabyasachi is known for in the fashion industry.
Sabyasachi’s choice to wear his own design to the Met Gala is a testament to his belief in the global appeal of Indian craftsmanship and traditional techniques. His appearance at the Met Gala not only showcases his personal style but also highlights the richness of Indian textiles and jewelry.
It serves as an inspiration, showing that traditional Indian fashion elements can be successfully incorporated into modern high fashion. This historic moment at the Met Gala will likely encourage more global recognition and appreciation of Indian fashion designers and their rich heritage.
