In the past five years, we’ve seen our ‘gram screens inundated with Brides clad in Sabyasachi bridal outfits. It’s borderline robotic now and from a style point of view, it sometimes gives an almost stagnant vibe. While the brand continues to innovate and evolve, the popular choice of consumers seems to be the same traditional over the top embroidered Red lehenga and choli.
Almost a decade ago, we remember watching ‘Band Bajaa Bride’- the designer’s version of ‘Say Yes to the Dress’ themed reality show and recall a bride tearing up after watching her sequenced head to toe Gold lehenga. For women who have loved fashion in and out, a bridal lehenga does hold enough importance to make your heart and eyes swell like that.
Looking at the Couture 2022 collection gave us a synonymous fuzzy feeling, reminding why the Brand has become what it has become; the number one bridal designer for celebrities and avid fashion lovers alike.

For people who’ve known and appreciated the brand before it became an ‘Instagram favorite’, they know how much the designer is inspired by Calcutta and the raw, originality the place adds to his work. The designer’s Instagram page elaborates on the collection, from venetian chandeliers to tarnished silverware; the words strike a chord with our heart strings.
“The crumbling grand mansions of North Calcutta, venetian chandeliers and tarnished silverware—an intense integrity beneath the patina of age. Strong, sophisticated and confident. A smoky hand-dyed colour palette of brooding silver, dusty gold and withering grey. The textured depth of layering silk, wool, velvet and tulle. And the drama of hand crafted old-world zardozi, printed vintage florals and artisanal embroidery. Couture 2022 celebrates the timelessness of nonchalant glamour.”

Words as beautiful and spectacular as his ensembles, this collection transports us to a world where traditions and modernity are married without any strings attached. The perfect balance of sparkle yet an underlying tone of understated glamour. It’s sophisticated yet royal, vintage yet progressive.
Is this what dreams are made of? We are positive!
We hope this collection makes bride hop off the band wagon and opt for pieces that are not only true to the signature Sabyasachi aesthetic but also super memorable.
