LONDON, Feb 16, 2005/ FW/ --- Ashish Gupta is about colour and fun with a fifties twist. Baggy halter-top pleated mini dresses were styled with spandex tights as Ashish’s first looks of the collection.

These mini dresses were made in a simple cotton fabric, which had a sparkle finish within the fabric. This same fabric is later carried over into his punk off the shoulder oversized jumpers.

Small cardigans and tweed coats were layered on top of printed dresses and shirts. Many traditional items such as trouser suits were more relax with a loose fit.

Track suits in burgundy and midnight blue were loose fit as well. These track suits are comfortable chic yet stylish with a cute pump.

A signature motif this season for Gupta is his multi-rainbow clour sweaters and dresses. This motif is full of small threads intricately splashed all over which are reminiscent of jumpers from children of the 80’s.

Stretching back to the 50’s, Gupta designed poodle skirts in funky colours with layers of tulle slips underneath to give a dynamic flare.

These key skirts were simply styled with tanks and sweat shirts with political slogans such as: “Children are Special. “

Gupta is a budding new talent who is catching the true spirit of London style.
