Syomirizwa Gupta Spring/Summer 2017

Syomirizwa Gupta’s Spring/Summer 2017 Ready-to-Wear collection draws its inspiration from the brilliant avant-garde artist Yoko Ono. Through his collection, the designer invites you to join him on a journey that traverses three chapters from Yoko Ono’s early years - an ambitious artist ahead of her time, her extraordinary relationship with John Lennon, and a female activist with a will of forged iron.

Popularly (mis)labeled as the woman who ended the Beatles, Yoko Ono’s critics tend to overlook her many contributions - including that of environmentalist, feminist, passionate lover, anti-war proponent, and a revolutionary conceptual artist ahead of her time who is renowned for her ability to blur the boundaries between art and life.

The looks featured in this collection pay homage to what the designer perceives to be Yoko Ono’s best moments in fashion. Through his designs, he attempts to trace Yoko Ono’s journey through life commencing from her early youth in high school, followed by her voyages across the globe as a teenager, her forays into the pop and art worlds as a young adult, and culminating in her maturation as an extraordinary artist and loving partner. In this collection, the audience should expect to have their senses enveloped in an intoxicating cross-cultural fusion experience drawing from late 1960s London, the romantic musings of French street artists, the graceful folds of the Japanese kimono, and tailored masculine suits from the 1970s. Retro aficionados can also expect to see shirts and jumpsuits that reflect Yoko Ono’s close association with the flowing looks of the era’s bohemian movement.

This time around, the designer also hopes to showcase his quirkier side to the audience, while still celebrating the sensuality of the female form. Enthusiasts of the designer’s work can expect a variety of prints, lines and colors matched with an equally diverse array of fabrics that include chiffon, cotton, suiting and crepe. Succinctly put, this collection aims to encourage broader appreciation of colors and prints among the brand’s fan base, and the many ways in which colors can be explored to suit women from various walks of life.
