A designer known for breathtakingly beautiful sculptural designs, Gaurav Gupta has wowed us once again with his new Pre Couture collection— Venus Rising.
Inspired by the birth of Venus and the cosmic ocean, the ethereal collection abstracts from the flow of water and the shifting moonscape with a presentation of fluid structures and fine sculpting. The designs etch out the intricate femininity of the female form.
The designs feature silhouettes that reinterpret embroidery as a medium to weave the symbiotic thread between traditional and modern crafts.
The unparalleled amalgamation of artistry and craftsmanship is accentuated through the meticulously hand-embroidered and hand-stitched floral motifs and pearl ornamentations. An oyster of endless pearls, encrusted on sublime couture reveals the artistic practice of avant-garde, illuminating the collection.

Magnificent trains and elegant drapes in rich silks and tulle, elucidate the natural contours of the body while the voluminous ruffles in multi-layered organza entwine into each other to form finely sculpted lines that showcase innovative designs.
Comprising 25 dramatic silhouettes in the form of gowns with bustles and trains, voluminous lehengas and new concept saree gowns, the entire collection takes on a pastel colour palette. The light & luminescent tones draw from the ethereal backdrop in a spectrum of soft hues including pearl whites, ecru, prismatic pinks and soft blues.
