The deeply personal collection narrates a journey of love, trauma, and transformation, inspired by Gupta and his partner Navkirat Sodhi’s experience following a devastating fire accident. (Source: Gaurav Gupta/Instagram)

For this collection, Navkirat served as Gupta’s muse, even opening the show. In a moving video shared on his official page, the designer revealed that during the accident, 55% of Sodhi's body suffered burns. (Source: Gaurav Gupta/Instagram)

Rather than shying away from the tragedy, Gupta embraced it—channeling fire as both a symbol and a design element—to weave it into his signature themes of spirituality and Indian mysticism. (Source: Gaurav Gupta/Instagram)

The collection took centre stage with American rapper Megan Thee Stallion, who made a striking entrance in a drape chain gown from the line. (Source: Megan Thee Stallion/Instagram)

Sharing the moment on Instagram, Gupta described the look as “a cosmic force”, adding that collaborating with Megan to craft a piece that embodies the spirit of tribal India was an exhilarating experience.
“With ‘Across the Fire,’ we challenged post-traumatic fears, embraced the flames, and used them as a source of strength,” Gupta reflected. (Source: Megan Thee Stallion/Instagram)
