Sabyasachi Mukherjee, the grand finale designer for LFW

Designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee will bring the curtains

down at the August 23-27, winter-festive edition of the Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) as the grand finale designer. A renowned name both in India and abroad, Mukherjee's collections have won accolades from many celebrities. He recently designed Bollywood actress Vidya Balan's look for the 66th Cannes International Film Festival.

Apart from top Bollywood celebs like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor, Rani Mukherjee, Deepika Padukone and Vidya Balan , even global divas like Oprah Winfrey and Naomi Campbell, and other A-Listers have flaunted saris designed by Mukherjee. His collections have won awards and favourable reviews from commentators. After showing several seasons at Milan, New York and London fashion weeks Mukherjee spread his eponymous collections of distinctly Indian fashions, from a global to domestic market. One of the reasons behind his brand being so successful is his traditional approach. He feels even though one is criticised for being repetitive, a designer cannot be iconic if he is not repetitive.
