On Wednesday, Gaurav Gupta presented his Spring 2025 Couture collection at Paris Fashion Week 2025. Titled "Across the Fire," this collection narrates a poignant tale of love, trauma, and a renewed perspective on life, drawing inspiration from the experiences he and his wife endured following a devastating fire incident.

The designer conveyed this narrative through the exquisite couture garments showcased during the event. He selected his wife, poet Navkirat Sodhi, as his muse for the collection. In a video posted on his official platform, he shared the harrowing details of the fire accident, which resulted in 55% of his wife's body being burned.

“She is a fighter and survivor,” he stated.

The video opens with Gaurav recounting the incident. “Approximately eight months ago, we experienced one of the most transformative events in our lives. It was a fire accident caused by a candle,” he explained. He disclosed that while attempting to extinguish the flames with his hands, he sustained burns on one of them. Navkirat spent 2.5 months in the ICU, with doctors estimating her chances of survival at 50%. “She is a fighter and survivor…she is a goddess,” he emphasized.

Navkirat not only turned muse for her husband, she also opened the show for him during the Paris Fashion Week. She walked the ramp dressed in a cream-coloured draped corset gown, with scars on her arms and legs in full display.

The designer articulated the concept of fire in his collection by illustrating its ability to liquefy metal, its capacity to reduce everything to ashes, and its representation through form and drapery. Additionally, he aimed to depict the injuries his wife endured following the accident, utilizing colours that reflected the various shades of burns and bruises, ranging from black to dark purple and transitioning from dark purple to blue.

According to the fashion Instagram account @ideservecouture, managed by Hanan Besovic, a white wedding gown featured in the show represented Navkirat's body enveloped in bandages. Hanan remarked, “These are the clothes that matter.”
