More about the designer and his S/S 2023 couture collection

Gaurav Gupta is the third Indian designer ever, to show at Haute Couture Week and at Palais de Tokyo, he unveiled his spring-summer 2023 couture collection. Known for his sculpted designs in couture and ready-to-wear, his themes in surrealism and fanaticism, as well as his fine jewelry make him sought after. The Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM) chose Gupta to be on the official calendar because of his quintessential Indian core, of incorporating indigenous construction and the flamboyant details of his craftsmanship.

Graduating from Central Saint Martins in London, Gupta launched his brand in 2004 and today, he has been able to create a brand that permeates on the world’s stage. Having dressed Megan, Thee Stallion at the Grammy’s last year, Jennifer Hudson, and Latin artist Maluma at the Latin Billboards has allowed him the opportunity to grab the attention of the celebrity world. The man and woman that wears Gaurav Gupta are quite unique with a distinct personality.

“My brand is very couture and futuristic but rooted in detailed craftsmanship,” says Gupta. “Our aesthetic is usually described as future primitive as I mostly draw inspiration from fantastical, surreal themes and hence, it’s almost like a parallel spectrum that we think in. The woman who wants to experiment, make a statement, feel glamorous, and is confident is the woman who wears the brand. She’s self-aware, travels and likes to dress up in fantasy – with a purpose and somebody who is artistically curious and has a keen eye for detail.”

“Haute Couture Week is the mecca of fashion. It is an honor to represent our country and partake in a spectacle which celebrates the art of couture and supreme craftsmanship. The team and I were eagerly looking forward to exhibiting the world of Gaurav Gupta on such a revered global platform, which has been uniting the world with fashion – bestowing creative opportunities upon couturiers who have been creating magic,” says Gupta.

Butter Wakefield, the garden designer

More about the garden designer

Butter grew up on the East Coast of America, on a little farm outside of Baltimore, Maryland.  Her love for dogs, ponies and all things outdoors taught her at an early age the responsibility and hard work that accompanies these pleasures.  Her mother, aunt and grandfather were all keen and accomplished gardeners, and she remembers with great fondness wandering around their beautiful gardens as a child - her deep appreciation of beautiful surroundings and passion for gardening is a family inheritance running deep in her veins. 

Butter trained at the English Gardening School (1997/1998) completing the Year Diploma Course in Plants and Plantsmanship and winning two prizes. More recently she graduated from The London College of Garden Design (2013/2014) with a Merit Commended. Originally she worked as an interior design assistant at Colefax and Fowler on Brook Street where she was trained in the world of decorative interiors.  It was there that her love of the creative process took hold as she learned about scale, texture, pattern, colour and the principles and practices of design.

Butter Wakefield Garden Design is a small design studio offering a very unique and personal service. Butter has over 15 years of experience creating many inspirational and purposeful gardens of all sizes both in London and beyond. She has a profound love for her job and her clients and takes a tremendous amount of time and care over them both.
