Miss Mara rocks
Gaurav Gupta sat out last seasons ready-to-wear shows to focus on his couture. This autumn-winter, the young and kinky Mr Gupta returns to what he does best: giving women all but a whip. Its also opportune that Rooney Maras Lisbeth Salander is the toast of fashion, and even though India may not have yet enjoyed David Finchers The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Gupta ensures we know what shes like. Pointed shoulders, slashed dresses, zippers and lace-up boots, bronze minis and sheers mixed with sculpted covers Guptas ode to the bionic woman, he says, seems born in a laboratory. For the gentler power puff girls, belted gowns in orange and ochre colours, with blue birds in flight for prints. A beautiful presentation, also styled wonderfully, Gupta pulled three aces with this. Especially wicked is his jacket-gown, a single shoulder biker jacket that transmorphs into a sweeping gown. A collection that stimulates the intellect as well as tugs at the heart. Now, lets bring out the knives.
