Designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee Returns to New York Fashion Week After Two Decades

Designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee has returned to New York Fashion Week twenty years after his initial debut in the city. His latest presentation, titled 'Bengal Byzantine Broadway', marks a shift from his earlier, more restrained work.

The show featured American supermodel Christy Turlington, who opened the runway in a denim-on-denim outfit. She wore high jewelry pieces that incorporated designs inspired by historical artifacts, including Roman sarcophagi and Byzantine panels.

Mukherjee’s first New York appearance two decades ago focused on simple cotton garments and school uniforms. He stated that his return was timed to coincide with a period when he felt better prepared for the international stage.
