Sabyasachi Mukherjee’s influence on fashion has resonated well beyond elite circles, inspiring a group of underprivileged children in Lucknow to create their own versions of his celebrated designs. Guided by the non-profit organization Innovation for Change, these young talents designed intricate bridal wear inspired by Sabyasachi’s iconic creations. A heartwarming video posted by the NGO showcases these children proudly modeling their handcrafted attire. The NGO, which supports over 400 children from slum communities, shared that the outfits were creatively pieced together from materials donated by local supporters.
