Home And Heart

HOME, HOMELESSNESS, AND HOMECOMING are some of the few thoughts that constantly preoccupy shoe designer, the king of red soles, Christian Louboutin, and couturier Sabyasachi Mukherjee. While Louboutin, in his heart, is a boy from Paris, Sabyasachi proudly wears Kolkata on his sleeve. For a long time, the two designers lived in their studio. Louboutin believes that if you find and create beauty in the space you work, there is no reason you cannot call it your home. In this edition of Bazaar Inspires, we got the two powerhouses to talk about what home means to them and how it influences their designs and creative energy.

Nonita Kalra: What role does the idea of home play in your creative processes?

Sabyasachi Mukherjee: I have been thinking about the concept of home for a while now. Until I was 30, I didn’t want a home. I travelled a lot, so I used to live in hotels. For nearly 11 years, I used to live in my factory where I had a small bed. Now, I live in a small rented apartment in Calcutta. To me, ownership of a home is a big commitment like marriage. In fact, I never ever go to people’s homes. But I broke that rule when I went to Christian’s house in Paris. I had dinner for two consecutive nights with his friends and that’s when it hit me that I probably need a home now, a space where I can host intimate dinners and be surrounded by people I love.
