I have often said I see myself as a ferryman between the past and the future. India is such a reservoir of history, art and culture—and I believe that for culture to be relevant it needs to be dynamic,” says Sabyasachi Mukherjee, one of the country’s leading fashion designers. And his most recent store in Mumbai, which opened to the public on April 18, is a manifestation of this vision. The brand’s largest flagship yet, the store is sprawled over 25,000 sq. ft and housed in the majestic neo-classical ICP Fort Heritage building off Horniman Circle. “I think when you truly know who you are, the aesthetic just follows. When I saw the heritage landmark building, I knew this was the perfect location... to capture the sensibility behind my stores, the spirit of Calcutta that is so beautifully embodied in the old homes and palaces of the city.”
