Sabyasachi Returns to NYFW After 17 Years With Christy Turlington: Unveils Iconic Met Jewellery Collab [PICS]

Sabyasachi Mukherjee, the renowned Indian designer, made a grand comeback to NYFW after a period of 17 years. ‘Bengal Byzantine Broadway,’ the collection that marked the Spring/Summer 2026 season, was a perfect blend of culture, star power, and luxury. Christy Turlington opened the show with an impressive performance. Rani Mukerji made an elegant appearance in the front row at the event. But the biggest attraction of the night was the debut of the multi-million-dollar collaboration between Sabyasachi and The Met, the fine jewelry collection.

The return of Sabyasachi to The Big Apple could not have been any more exceptional. Instead of the usual catwalk setting, the designer converted the New York venue into a rich, dark salon that mirrored his own ‘more is more’ style. From critics to international buyers, all gathered to see the elegant return of the label to the international fashion calendar of the West.

Christy Turlington Walks The Runway For Sabyasachi

It all started off with a chance happening in fashion. The famous supermodel of the 90s era Christy Turlington walked down the ramp effortlessly. She was wearing a structured, textured denim jacket with flowing trousers, accessorized with the new collection of high jewelry. She is the link between classic American high fashion and the rich eastern style of Sabyasachi.

The show had a double meaning because it was also the first public showing of the collaboration between Sabyasachi and The Met that produced the fine jewelry collection. It was an integrated show since the models were wearing this exclusive, expensive jewelry. The link was clear as well – the clothing on the runway ‘Byzantine’ was the canvas, and the jewelry ‘made exclusively for The Met’ was the details.
