It was an absolute honor and privilege to have been able to photograph Sabyasachi Mukherjee’s first high jewelery runway presentation, presented on December 18, 2023. I tried to capture the entire evening in this photo feature, including the jewelery details, cocktails and décor of the brand’s show programme, as well as my behind-the-scenes look.
Considering the brand rarely does runway presentations (the last time I shot OMG YAY! was in 2019), I honestly can’t believe they’re letting me back into photography. I did my best for this shoot, but I don’t think I can surpass the previous shoot. Scroll!
The runway images are a few that have now been released to the international press. We will update with more images once the brand is released.
