Sabyasachi
What can you say about an uncanny spark of brilliance from a 14-year-old from Calcutta, producing pencil sketches for us of amazing silhouettes on old-fashioned drawing books, with no training or exposure? Or, of a whiz kid in Mathematics being goaded by family to pursue a career in Medicine, whilst his heart (and soul) was squarely set on Design? A classic rags to riches story, it is Sabyasachi’s touching human qualities and his embrace of the entire spectrum of the senses that establishes his unique identity! Equally at home on a sidewalk in Calcutta and at George V in Paris, in the 27 years that we have known him as a very dear friend, nothing has touched or changed the quintessential Sabyasachi! His feet are firmly planted on the ground, humour, wit and intellect stir him, mindless glamour dismays him and pompousness invites his
wrath!
A simple Bengali meal has often been bliss for him, a good engaging conversation is utterly sensual for him and the richness of India’s heritage in its various hues sends him into a tizzy. His grandmother’s remorse at her grandson becoming a tailor has now metamorphosed into Sabyasachi doggedly remaining true to his uniqueness, inspiring an entirely new crop of designers countrywide.
