The Gaurav Gupta bride channels the sun and the moon, in his latest bridal couture collection
Couturier Gaurav Gupta unveiled his latest bridal collection, 'Light Song,' at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai. The collection draws inspiration from cosmology and the relationship between the sun and the moon, featuring theatrical elements and intricate beadwork.
Why it matters
The event highlights the growing influence of Indian luxury fashion on the global stage and the shift of major couture showcases from international fashion capitals to domestic hubs like Mumbai.
Beneath sculptural orbs suspended from the ceiling, meant to evoke the sun and the moon, dancers emerge, lithe and graceful. It is Delhi couturier Gaurav Gupta’s way of setting the mood before guests enter the main hall at the Jio World Convention Centre on Friday evening for his bridal couture showcase.
In collaboration with auto brand MG Select, this is the second year in a row that Gaurav has skipped Paris Couture Week in July to unveil an elaborate bridal collection in Mumbai. When we speak to him a day before the show, he is at his atelier, in Mumbai’s Kala Ghoda, overseeing fittings for more than 70 looks spanning bridal couture, menswear, cocktail dressing and occasion wear. “A large collection this time,” he says.
For Light Song, Gaurav did not have to look far for inspiration.
