Fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee is renowned for his intricate Indian bridal wear.
From Priyanka Chopra to Bollywood actresses, countless celebrities have sought his designs.

Sabyasachi said the deserts, gypsies, and antique textiles of his home town, Kolkata, have been a lifelong inspiration.
