As Paris Haute Couture week wrapped up, India's rising couturier Gaurav Gupta's show saw megastars including Cardi B and Chinese actor Fan Bingbing coming in to lend support. The two have been long-time patrons of Gaurav Gupta Studio and stunned in their outfits tailor-made by this talented custom designer.

Gaurav Gupta is known to experiment with surrealism and elements of the fantastical in his design. His new collection is titled ‘Hiranyagarbha' which is Sanskrit for ‘the golden womb' aka the universal origin/ source of the creation. Gupta says that the collection embodies a journey of birth and rebirth, transformation and metamorphosis - it captures what it means to be alive after bursting forth from nothingness. The designer merged the titular inspiration with the brand's iconic architectural designs in this collection. He also incorporated traditional Indian embroidery techniques to achieve a stunning haute couture look.
