FDCI – A Couturier's Dream

GAURAV GUPTA – NAME IS LOVE

To the soothing recitation of her poem ‘Name is Love’ by Navkirat Sodhi and the background score by Sahil Vasudeva, Gaurav Gupta’s opening show also called ‘Name is Love’ was a dramatic fashion presentation of 45 womens’ occasion wear and 20 mens’ outfits. The show was shot at the Oddbird Theatre, Dhan Mill compound.

With love as the central theme, it was but natural that the word encompassed all genres that moving seamlessly from body shapes to ethnicities, sexualities, inclusivities and this new wave of social change that is affecting the fashion world. The collection once again revealed Gaurav’s mastery over construction as swirls of moulded fabrics in sheer and opaque forms turned into mind-boggling silhouettes for western wear predominantly. The sculpted shapes with Gaurav’s favourite bugle beading were the highlights of the ensembles. Offering glamorous gowns, sari-inspired creations and men’s evening tuxedos and suits in colour clusters; Gaurav ensured that his skills in draping were evident in every swirl that the models took. Glitter also played a major role, while the multi hues of the collection sprinkled with black and white brought forth a shade card ideally suited for evening glamour.
