Gaurav Gupta Spring Couture Replaces Sequins With Watch Mechanics

Professor Ivan Allegranti is a seasoned freelance journalist and academic…
Gaurav Gupta’s Spring Couture collection unfolds as a meditation on continuity, inspired by the Indian philosophy of advait, the idea of an indivisible, nonbinary reality. Shaped by his return to the runway after a life-altering fire, the narrative moves from cosmic origins to spiritual emergence through sculptural silhouettes, stardust embroideries, and architectural volumes.
Watch mechanisms replace sequins, resin constellations evoke deep space, and web-like lace suggests energy flows. Beyond symbolism, Gupta’s precise construction and fluid forms affirm his mastery of drama, innovation, and poetic form.
