Aartivijay Gupta Winter/Festive 2012

Leave a reply

Aartivijay Gupta’s collection titled “I Love My Doodle Book” was based on her past memories about her growth as a fashion student, who learned how to sketch well. She was taught to draw methodically fashion figures with a mathematical precision. Her prints were raw, crooked and haphazard on the designs. All these prints reflected the innocence and imperfection of an inexperienced hand trying to master sketching techniques. The theme of the collection was a very personal story. The looks were contemporary, functional, and can be worn to formal occasions. The silhouettes had a structure as well as a fluid element. A fitted jumpsuit on the top with wide-legged pants was cool, relaxed and edgy. Aartivijay Gupta’s idea was to make her heroine to stand out from the crowd, and also stay subtle. The collection embraced the jackets with godet details, high-wasted skirts, Palazzo pants and etc. Aartivijay Gupta stayed with a neutral color palette. The collection reflected a distinct identity of the designer.

“I think Pooja carried it off pretty well, as she is quiet a rebel in real life, and the dress is also a statement piece in itself. Only someone like her can do justice to the dress.”

“Pooja contacted me for her shoot for the Femina Fashion Magazine, and said its the summer issue, so keeping her in mind. I thought of this dress and this look.”

“The inspiration behind the dress is origami. The Japanese art of paper folding… so the waist and the hem have a paper pleating effect, and the sleeves are cylindrical, with big origami flowers to complete the look. The colour is peach to keep you cool this summer. It’s a short satin silk dress for a semi formal occasion.”
