Seychelles Paints the Perfect backdrop for Sabyasachi’s first ever Destination Wedding Collection
Mumbai, 4th
April 2019: An exotic
and pristine destination, Seychelles offers mesmerizing backdrops for photo-shoots
and makes for an ideal location for larger than life celebrations. Charmed by its beauty, Seychelles was recently
chosen by the prestigious magazine Condé Nast Traveller, India for
their April issue cover photo shoot with Miss World 2017 Ms. Manushi Chhillar.
Adding to the glamour of the association was the reveal of the destination
wedding collection designed by India’s eminent Mr. Sabyasachi Mukherjee,
the jewel of Indian fashion and wedding industry. The destination provided a
perfect backdrop to showcase an enchanting white wedding setup with Ms. Manushi,
her handsome groom and the bride’s tribe all dressed and styled by Sabyasachi.
The association also provided an opportunity to showcase local talent with one
of the bridesmaid being a Seychellois model. The photo shoot was conducted on gorgeous
untouched beaches of the luxurious Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at
Desroches Island (private island resort) who came on board as the location
partner and further upped the ante of the collaboration.
Enchanting beaches and lush flora and fauna
of Seychelles provide breathtaking venue options for celebration of all special
occasions including luxurious destination wedding that would evoke all kinds of
Instagram goals similar to this photo shoot. Reliving her experience in
Desroches Island, Ms. Manushi Chhillar said,”Sabya has always been
special to me. He is an iconic designer and I’m proud and humbled to have
gotten opportunities to inhabit his breathtakingly beautiful creations. I have
worn his creations right from when I was starting out and I was thrilled that,
for this cover, I got to be his bride! Every girl dreams of being the
Sabyasachi bride and have a charming destination wedding on the beach. It was
surreal to shoot in Seychelles, wearing Sabyasachi’s outstanding creations. I
have also always loved the sun, the sand and the sea and I had never been to
Seychelles, so this was an extra special experience”
Talking
about the collaboration, Ms.
Divia Thani,
Editor, Condé Nast Traveller India says, “The
big fat Indian wedding is quickly becoming the intimate, chic, destination
wedding. A few years ago, destination weddings were a novelty, but the
Indian destination wedding market is booming, as couples are looking for more
unique, personal and lavish ways to celebrate their once-in-a-lifetime
occasion. Condé Nast Traveller’s
annual Destination Wedding Guide 2019 is an exciting and one-of-a-kind
collaboration between CNT, Sabyasachi Mukherjee and Seychelles Tourism, all to
reveal Sabyasachi’s Destination Wedding/Resort edit and to introduce Seychelles
as the perfect, beautiful place to celebrate special occasions. Get the
April-May issue of Condé Nast Traveller
India for the ultimate guide to Destination Weddings. See the top 10 wedding
trends that will rule 2019, plus all the best places to tie the knot, whatever
your style, and loads of ideas and inspiration!”
Mr.
Sabyasachi Mukherjee, one of the leading designers and a trend setter for millions in India
was not only wowed by the destination’s untouched beauty but also found its
proximity to India extremely alluring and further added, “A big collaboration
is always about having the right people and with Condé Nast Traveller India and
Seychelles, all the elements came together to make this possible. The shoot was
the perfect mélange of Condé Nast Traveller India’s vision, the pristine
beauty of Seychelles, the uber luxe Four Seasons Resort and the beautiful Manushi
Chhillar. It has captured the best of a destination wedding as it’s very
aspirational but does not have the big trappings of being over commercial at
the same time. As destination weddings become a very important part of Indian
wedding industry, I hope this shoot inspires people to create beautiful
weddings which are luxurious yet soulful and intimate.”
“For Seychelles Tourism Board, this
collaboration was not only a media project but also a chance to showcase the
destinations offerings to some very influential personalities. Partnering with flag bearers of the magazine
world and the fashion fraternity in India was indeed an exhilarating
experience. Condé Nast Traveller India has carved a niche among the readers and
to be featured on the cover of their main magazine along with the special
edition- The Destination Wedding Guide; both in the same month speak volumes of
the beauty of the destination. Seychelles is amongst the top scenic locations
for hosting celebrations. It is a privilege for us to have worked alongside the
private island-resorts, Four Seasons Resort Seychelles at Desroches Island,
which highlights evidently the best mix of luxury, and privacy that the
destination can offer. We are extremely delighted by this collaboration and
ready to welcome celebrations from India”, said Ms. Sherin Francis, STB
Chief Executive Officer.
Ms. Lubaina Sheerazi, COO, Blue Square Consultants, Seychelles
Tourist Office-India further, added “We have always carved unique and
distinguished collaborations to promote Seychelles in India. With an increase
in celebrations of all kinds- wedding functions, milestone celebrations etc. we
have seen many more Indians choosing exotic international locations to create
memories. Seychelles with its scenic views and many exotic experiences could be
a great option to host such events. By collaborating with niche magazines like
Condé Nast Traveller India we aim to position Seychelles as an ideal
destination for luxurious celebrations. The fashion contribution by the maestro
Sabyasachi widened the reach of this association and participation of the
private island resort – Four Seasons Seychelles at Desroches Island brought out
the opulence of the destination.”
