Designer Dreamz - MASABA GUPTA

From hand stamps to foot prints, long flowy silhouettes to dramatic, strong colours. Masaba has finally arrived and created the much needed mark in the fashion world. Daughter of actor Neena Gupta (who also is her biggest endorser and is spotted in her creations very often) and cricketing legend Vivian Richards, she made people sit up and take notice with her debut at the 2009 Lakme India Fashion Week.(she has found a fan in me too)




I love Masaba for the giant prints, the mix of strong contrasting colours, edgy designs, and her invention of 3 piece saree. I mean WOW, such a modern twist to the seven yards and making it look even more sexier with the prints. I love the way she plays around with colours,textures and prints. Apart from the prints,polka dots and geometric designs used on the aforesaid sarees,Masaba also uses a dose of unique marks of palms and feet, alphabet motifs, motifs inspired by mythology etc liberally in her creations(my personal favourite).

Masaba who is just a couple of years old on the block has an ardent fan following from the tinsel town in the form of Mandira Bedi, Sonam Kapoor and ofcourse Mommy dearest. Sonam kapoor also took Masaba on the global chart by wearing it to the cannes festival.

The pace at which she is going am sure she is here to stay and why not who wouldn't love some quirkiness and fun to their clothing. Well atleast I do, so for me its a thumbs Up !!

Hope u liked her collection too.

P.S. - i am getting a masaba in my wardrobe soon(one of the saree's for sure) but if you want to get your hands on her collection "House of MASABA"@ mumbai is the place for you.
