Embark on a journey through Gaurav Gupta's latest couture collection, 'Aarohanam.' Named after the Sanskrit word meaning ascent, this collection delves into the spiritual evolution from the tangible to the ethereal, from obscurity to illumination. Inspired by this profound concept, it captures the transition from reason to innocence, embracing existence's inherent design.
The collection palette mirrors the flame's hues, where black symbolizes emptiness, Agni orange reflects a rising flame, and sand signifies reflection and light. The collection features exaggerated capes, flowing trench coats, cropped jackets, and sculpted metal structures, crafting a surrealistic aesthetic reminiscent of ancient Indian scriptures in the Vedas. Traditional techniques like Badla, Mukaish, and Zardozi from Native American traditions peek through multi-dimensional crystals, enriching chiffon, woolen suitings, and fitted textiles. Gaurav Gupta's unique sculpture art seamlessly intertwines throughout the collection, offering a truly mesmerizing experience.
