Gaurav Gupta, who is known to imbibe elements of fantasy, flight and mythology in his garments, extends his signature style to his Mumbai flagship store, which opened on November 14, at Kala Ghoda.

The store is both fantastical and futuristic in concept. So while wrought-iron angels are stationed at the entrance door of the store, once inside, thick, grey, motion-sensored curtains — which are draped around racks where Gupta’s silhouettes hang - divide the store into prêt, couture and menswear. Each curtain swings open the moment it detects the sound of a footstep, and closes shut as you leave. And at the couture section, a large cement figure of Nyx, the Greek goddess of the night, welcomes you as you enter.
