Reflections Of A Style Icon

The legendary designer Giorgio Armani had made an interesting statement – ‘The difference between style and fashion is quality.’ We demand that both have quality. And Indian fashion designers in recent times have made this statement a little better, by making both fashion and style extremely high with quality. And the young crowd these days has been chanting one name in this regard – Masaba Gupta.

Ask any discerning fashion connoisseur and there are chances that she might be a Masaba Gupta fan. Creative and practical, Masaba just knows what is right for the market and the buyers. Unconventional is the word that best describes her. Her designs are a great amalgamation of traditional and modern, with a great hint of boldness. Women’s ethnic wear with unique prints and use of rich embroidery is her forte. Her eye-catching prints including motifs have been her trademark, along with feminine outlines. We can safely say that Masaba has slowly risen from being a rising star in the Indian fashion industry to now being a stalwart in the industry followed by many.

She was in town to launch her fifth boutique at the very up-market Phoenix Market City, and her interview is as honest as the person she is. With fans all over, taking time out to give an interview was a tough task indeed. But it went on rather smoothly.
