get the money for National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT)

education through relentless hard work and graduated from NIFT in
1999.
He, then, started his self titled label in a small shop in Kolkata with a
20,000 rupees borrowed from his sister and hired two other designers
to be his colleagues. But he was still very far from his career’s first
major break, which came 2 years later. In 2001, he won the Femina
British Council’s most outstanding Young Designer of India award,
which took him to London for his internship with an eclectic designer
Georgina von Etzdorf based in Salisbury (London). Upon his return to
India, he took to retail store presence in India in a major way. He
debuted at the Indian Fashion Week in 2002, where Women’s Wear
Daily praised and proclaimed him as the future of Indian Fashion.
During Spring 2003, he won the Grand Winner Award at the
Mercedes Benz New Asia Fashion week in Singapore. He introduced
a new design ‘Kora’, which received a thunderous response from the
national and international fashion critics. In 2004, he participated in
Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week and The Miami Fashion Week. He
experimented and mixed the traditional Indian attire with bohemian
fashion and named the line ‘The Frog Princess’. In 2005, he was
requested to showcase his collection “The Nair Sisters” at the Oxford
University black tie charity dinner fashion show held annually. In
2006, his debut Spring Summer collection’07 at New York Fashion
Week got him crucial acclaim. As a result of which, his label started
to sell worldwide. In August 2012, he closed the 3rd edition of PCJ
Delhi Couture Week. At the Vogue Wedding Show 2016, he launched
his jewellery line (designed by himself in 2008), in association with
the GAJA brand. At the Grand Finale of Lakme Fashion Week Spring
Summer’09, he launched his menswear collection of Kurtas,
Sherwanis and headgear. He has designed costumes for Bollywood
films such as Guzaarish, Babul, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, Raavan,
English Vinglish, etc. Such is the power of Sabyasachi Designs that
he started kids wear under the label Chota Sabhya. He is one of the
designers to have brought Khadi on the international platform.
