Toronto is covered in red carpets this week for the Toronto International Film Festival. Red carpet dressing is such a business exchange these days, that I’ve lost interest in watching the transactions.
I will, however, make an exception for Sabya.
Kalki Koechlin, in town for the premiere of Margarita, With a Straw, tweeted this earlier today:
Just reached Toronto. Premiere in two hours. Need to scrub up and wear a nice dress fast!

What a difference a couple of hours – and a little Kolkata couture make.
With this extraordinary Sabyasachi dress, Kalki not only gave Indian couture the respect it deserves, but paid homage to Canada, too with the selection of a red and white piece from Mukherjee’s recently shown Firozabad collection.
I’ll have more favourites from that collection soon. Wait until you see the men’s wear.
