Sabyasachi’s new collection featuring ‘Deepika Padukone’ is just FLAWLESS!

Sabyasachi Mukherjee is without a doubt, the dream designer of every bride today. Sabyasachi took to Instagram recently making an announcement with his post titled, “Sabyasachi for Nilaya featuring Deepika Padukone, unveiling on Instagram 4th February 2018 at 8.pm.”

No doubt, this news got all of us pumped up and curious as to know when this mystery would unfold. And the much-awaited 4th of February did arrive and we must say, what we saw on Sabyasachi’s Instagram handle got us fully mesmerized. We fall short of adjectives to describe our feeling on what we witnessed. The duo of Sabyasachi and Deepika can create magic; they have proved it to us time and again.

They have done it again; Sabyasachi in association with Asian Paints presented their collection Nilaya, which was introduced to us by the very beautiful and talented Deepika Padukone. This collection pays homage to the women in the late seventies and early eighties, the era of Bengal and to the fashion of those times. Looks like Mukherjee has chosen Deepika as his muse, who does true justice to the trust that the designer lays on her.

We will speak no more and leave you with the pictures of the diva herself to make you go all gaga over her and Sabyasachi, whose creations never fail to create magic.

If you grew up in Bengal at the time I was growing up, sometime between late seventies and early eighties, you would know that the consumer was the designer. I spent hours watching my mother and her friends stretching organdy sarees over hand frames and hand painting exotic blooms on them. More often than not, they would match the blooms in their sarees to the real blooms on their hair. Talk about style! This is my homage to them. My mother and all her Bengal art school friends. What they lacked in terms of resources, they always over compensated with imagination. That is the true art of dressing well and good housekeeping! #Sabyasachi #TheWorldOfSabyasachi #TheSabyasachiArtFoundation #DeepikaPadukone #AsianPaints #Nilaya #SabyasaschixAsianPaints #SabyasachiForNilaya @worldofnilaya @asianpaints @deepikapadukone

In 2002, I rented my first apartment. And moved in there with my tailors and pattern makers. It was all under a thousand square feet. It would become my home, my factory and my atelier! I hand-painted the walls in ‘Bengal Red’ with motifs of flora and fauna inspired by the tree of life! The horses back then did look like rabbits and one bird I am sure looked a bit like a nondescript reptile. Old habits die hard and so a better version of the tree of life makes a second appearance.

The homes of North Calcutta always fascinate me. Through winding lanes and decrepit alleys, one often stumbles upon ‘Paradise lost’. Humble tea stalls, crumbling book binding factories and dingy mustard oil presseries make way for forlorn palaces and music rooms of erstwhile ‘zamindars’. A lesson in sheer hedonistic maximalism. Osler and Baccarat chandeliers, completely engulfed in a shroud of cobwebs occasionally twinkling in the late afternoon sunlight, Devonshire china holding on for dear life on creaky cabinets, jostling for space amidst hand-painted tin and an occasional Lifebuoy soap perched precariously on a silver salver. Works of great European and Bengali masters co-existing in communal harmony with a calendar from a local pharmaceutical company, a withering taxidermy and Fuji-colour rendered black and white family portraits. As a parakeet and a cockatoo chirp in unison from the courtyard, my fingers swipe the dust from the walls to unveil yet another treasure. A hand-painted wallpaper from Paris, finely outlined with 18 carat gold! And one thought one knew the city! #Sabyasachi #TheWorldOfSabyasachi #TheSabyasachiArtFoundation #DeepikaPadukone #AsianPaints #Nilaya #SabyasaschixAsianPaints #SabyasachiForNilaya @worldofnilaya @asianpaints @deepikapadukone

Earlier in an interview post her success for the film Padmaavat, Deepika said, “For me, it is the success of womanhood in so many different ways. The film is also a celebration of the fact that this is the most expensive Indian film ever been made with a female protagonist. I view that as a victory. Not just for myself but for women in films.”

She further added, “I would like to believe that this will open the doors for many more such opportunities where producers are now able to put their money where their mouth is and back not just female-centric or female protagonists films but also back some of the films with this kind of budget.”
