Flames & Snakes by Gaurav Gupta, Paris Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2024 | FashionTV | FTV

Join the guests arriving for the spring/summer 2024 haute couture collection of Gaurav Gupta unveiled at Paris Fashion Week! The collection was inspired by the Sanskrit term “Aarohanam” which means ascension, the journey of a being from the gross to the subtle, from solid to sublime, from darkness to light. Silhouettes play with volume in a way that shows the flickering dance as a flame rises to dissolve into limitless space. Cropped jackets, exaggerated capes, fluid trench coats, and sculpted metal structures come together to paint the surrealism that breathes in ancient Indian texts like the Vedas. Chiffon, woolen suits, and tailored textiles are made richer with indigenous techniques like Badla, Mukaish, and Zardozi peeping through multi-dimensional crystals greeting luminescence.
