There's nothing more inspiring than an artist who is driven and passionate about his or her vocation and has made it to the big league at a young age.
Gaurav Gupta is one such achiever.
A 2000 graduate of NIFT, Delhi and Central Saint Martins', a competitive design school in London, this designer carries his sensibility on his sleeve, literally. Known to play with asymmetry and innovation, the 27-year old paints an avant-garde picture, sporting an asymmetrical hairdo and ensemble to match, clad in Jodhpur-like trousers designed by him, with a pale pink top, and eye-catching belt with a huge silver buckle.
He's not a one-time wonder either. Gaurav's autumn-winter collection was also well received at WL Fashion Week 2006.
Here, we see model Carol Gracious sporting a short fitted piece with 'textual embroidery' made up of fabric, metal sequins and beads.
