Naina.co Luxury, Fashion & Lifestyle Photography + Wearable Art Brooches Sabyasachi High Jewellery Runway Presentation, New Delhi, December 2023
An absolute honour and privilege to have photographed Sabyasachi Mukherjee‘s first ever High Jewellery Runway Presentation, which was showcased on the 18th of December, 2023. I have attempted to encapsulate the entire evening in this photo-feature, including details of the jewellery from the brand’s show propgramme, the cocktails and the decor and bit of me behind-the-scenes.
Considering the brand barely does any runway presentations, ( the last one, which I photographed OMG YAY! was in 2019 ), I honestly cannot believe that they got me on board to photograph again. While I did my best for this one, I don’t think I can top the previous shoot. Scroll away!
The runway images are a select few that have been released for the international press, for now. I will update with more images as and when the brand releases them.
