Sabyasachi apologises for calling overdressed women emotionally wounded

Ace designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee received a lot of flak on the internet for his latest post. The designer has been showcasing his latest collection on Instagram for a while now.
In between the collection photographs, one of the posts read, "If you see a woman 'overdressed', caked with makeup, armoured with jewellery, it is most likely that she is wounded. Bleeding inside, silently.Holding on to her pride and dignity, shining for the world, though within her innermost being there is a dark, blinding pain. Take some time off to give her your precious company, heal her with your empathy, because sometimes nothing can replace human warmth. Not even the most precious of jewellery (sic)."

Ever since the post went online, many women and men called it misogynistic and sexist. After making headlines for calling overdressed women emotionally wounded, Sabya took to Instagram to apologise.
“I acknowledge the feedback we have received regarding the statements made in our recent Instagram presentation. We hear you and although it was intended as a message of love and empathy and a call to look beyond exterior appearances, it wasn’t articulated correctly. I understand that it does not convey the message appropriately at all and for that, I would like to accept blame and offer an unconditional apology."

This is not the first time Sabyasachi has been trolled. Sometime back, the designer created a furore on social media for shaming women who don't know how to wear a sari.
"I think, if you tell me that you do not know how to wear a saree, I would say shame on you. It's a part of your culture, you need to buck up and stand up for it. It is the most wonderful dress in the world and people across the globe admire it," he said at the Harvard India conference held last year.
After receiving a lot of criticism, he later said, "My observation came from the fact that I often meet those who say it with a hint of pride on how they don't know how to wear a saree and I find it very dismissive of our heritage. It's a personal point of view.”
