==Design philosophy==
Inspired by world history, art, and street culture, Dipika Gupta was exposed and fascinated to this current dynamic presence in Haute Couture. Born and raised in South Africa and in India to Indian parents, she was taught about the rich culture, rich fabrics and Indian hand embroidery.
Her designs, a mix of simplicity and complexity, are driven by shapes, colours and textures. Themes and stories that carry through her collections usually direct the shapes and colours. As a mature woman, she still appreciates the Hip Hop culture and allows it to have an influence on the way she designs.
