Fashion designer GAURAV GUPTA presented his Spring Summer 2023 Couture Collection that explores the movement possibilities between zero and infinity, with tangents of mythology, fantasy and surrealism. The collection is titled Shunya – a Sanskrit word which translates as zero. Zero was discovered in India many centuries ago, and it expanded possibilities in studies of space and time. For the season Gupta explores the concept of stillness versus movement, zero versus infinity, and brings the collection which is subliminal in thought and original in form. This was Gupta’s first show at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week.
“Frozen strokes of dancing wind in infinite forms are sculpted in gold and silver handwoven tissue while the elemental dresses in black and nude strategically reveal the form in its pristine state. The sculptural draping forms in indigo electric blue in satins, chiffons, organzas represents a sense of futurism and the last segment of the collection, in stark gold and black, have pyramid nails sewn into detailed directional embroideries.” – from Gaurav Gupta
