Arunodaya - India Couture Week 2024

 

Arunodaya signifies the early dawn, derived from the Sanskrit words "Arun," meaning dawn, and "Udaya," meaning riser daybreak. This captivating phenomenon, where the first light of day breaks the darkness, is the essence of Gaurav Gupta's India couture collection. Arunodaya embodies the mystical transformation of night into day, symbolising hope, renewal, and the infinite possibilities that come with each new beginning.

 

The Arunodaya collection captures the serene tones of early morning with White, Ivory Pearl, Comet Blue, Petal Pink, Mauve, Slate, Sand, Bordeaux, and Lava, blending tradition with innovation. Intricate embroideries, including Indian Zardozi, cage embroidery, and colourful details, bring the dawn narrative to life. Sheer fabrics evoke the lightness of dawn, while high-end couture pieces like opulent lehengas, saree gowns, and draped sarees showcase Gaurav Gupta's craftsmanship and innovative spirit. Futuristic elements such as metallic breastplates and reflective embroidery on men's jackets enhance the collection, heralding a new era in Indian couture. The couturier’s signature sculpting art meanders throughout the collection, heralding a new era in Indian couture.
