Elaborate headgears, blouses which double up as neckpieces, white wedding gowns, Gaurav Gupta's show on day 2 was all this and moreIt's Day 2 on July 21 at Delhi Couture Week, and the first sight that strikes you at Delhi designer Gaurav Gupta's show is an abstract runway in stark white with a towering hood, flanked on both sides by front row loveliesu00a0-- boutique owner Tina Tahiliani in a blood red Grecian drape gown, and actress Neha Dhupia in a nude, one-shoulder dress (in Grecian drape again) on opposite sides.
The sound of water trickling runs in loop on the soundtrack as mist envelops leisurely paced models. White wedding gowns serve a prelude to a row of garments in nude; the hot colour this season. Saris-on-a-diet carry Gupta's trademark antique embroidered pallus, while tassels replace the cumbersome drape, and blouses double up as neck-pieces.
