Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week is one of Asia's biggest and India's premiere fashion & trade event.

Sabyasachi will be creating an exclusive collection for Wills Lifestyle that will be retailed from Wills Lifestyle stores across the country.

Sabyasachi's Wills Lifestyle Grand Finale Collection is an ode to modernism. Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Pedro Almodovar and the 60s and 70s converge to create a modern eclectic collection, entirely hand crafted out of Indian fabrics. The collection travels across Spain to Peru to Argentina with flashes of rural India. It has a schizophrenic balance of pastoral nomadity and urban intellectualism, where Wo-do dolls and tango dancers meet, bohemian cowgirls and katputli princesses. Magic on the ramp is set to be unveiled!
