Surrealist But Futuristic
From naming his collection after the term for a rising scale in Indian music to continuing his international ascension. If you are a true Indian fashion aficionado, you just know him!
One of the most iconic events in the fashion industry, Fall/Winter Haute Couture Week 23—2024, kicked off with an edge. The show highlighted some of the finest creations from renowned fashion houses, setting the stage for the upcoming season’s trends and styles.
And in this season, Gaurav Gupta caused a stir with his creations. The designer continued to draw on the country's rich embroidery tradition, working his self-described futuristic-primitive vibe in a way he called “almost meteoric.” And, for our Indie-western fusion edition, we couldn’t think of someone better than him.

He delved into a captivating exploration of new hues and figures, expanding on the sculptural design language previously donned by every A-lister celebrity. Titled "Aarohanam" for Spring 2024, Gupta's collection marked a departure towards more body-hugging silhouettes adorned with diverse embellishments and techniques, some of which are novel to the brand, including surrealist metal plating.
Thus, to keep up with a reflection of the profound attributes of kundalini energy, encapsulating its unfolding ascent and metamorphosis, we have styled four of our faves in our own ways. We hope you’ll be intrigued to evidence a striking contrast, seamlessly weaving the brand's iterations into an infinity symbol with our twists and kicks.
