Review
Advocating the idea of making Indian wear experimental and forward thinking Gaurav Gupta couture show worked on the anatomical make up of the body. His collection “Silt and Cipher” gave form and definition to Indian silhouettes – playing with layering, drama, intricate embroideries and flowing fabrics as if each grain of silt reflects from its surface.
Sewing itself along those lines were the cinched waist, recurring peplum, many tiered skirts and costumesque volume ensembles make their appearance on the ramp. There was an extensive play of tone on tone and botanical renderings of roots and oceansto make gowns, sari gowns and lehenga gowns seems emerging out of elements. Structure and drapes were juxtaposed throughout in Oil Blue, Glare silver, withered peach, nude and tipsy gold.
