MUMBAI: We got freedom in 1947, but does it feel so when people in the world still tag women on being certain types. Recently, popular designer Sabyasachi went on to post a message about femininity, which puts women, who wear makeup, in the bracket of being ‘needy’.
Here’s Sabyasachi’s message:
On the above Bhasin replied, “Seriously? And why cant @sabyasachiofficial now jus stick to just being a designer and not get into psychology and conflict his own ideas of femininity. I mean the concept ' sabya bride ' loaded with jewellery, kajal, sindoor not to forget extravagant and overpriced lehengas where you can’t tell one bride from another was a concept embedded by you Mr, Sabyasachi into Indian women. And now you are making rhetorical speeches, conflicting your own ideas that you have literally shoved down women's throats even though you cloned your brides like mannequins with your ideas of beauty and womanhood.”
She further added, “I mean this fashion mafia makes me sick to my stomach, please just make clothes, advertise them and leave philosophical depth to the sages. Fashion, make up and jewellery was invented for fun and enhancement the pretence of status, money and who's who has just ruined it for most of us for years. Now please stop telling us we are wounded because most chose to load ourselves with your jewellery and clothes. Just please stop it. We r grown women let us express and figure out our own femininity without another man imposing his ideas on us.”
Sabyasachi later apologised in his instagram post. Check posts here
