Indian designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee has launched his latest couture collection for the Spring/Summer 2017 season. Entitled ‘The Udaipur Collection’ is, the designs are inspired by Rajasthani royalty and include references to maharanis, palaces, stately luncheons, rose gardens, gulaal, The Sheesh Mahal and more.

"Whether the maharanis in their French chiffon with European flora and fauna print, the maharajas in their quiet arrogance, the exuberant interiors of their majestic palaces, their culture, traditions of clothing, their often eclectic tastes in luxury, all of those notions and insinuations come to life with my creative liberty in the Udaipur collection", says the designer.

"While there is global exposure to these iconic people, they are also extremely insular and proud of who they are and where they come from. And the existence of that feral dichotomy to me is the essence of empowered luxury."
