==Early life and career== | |||

She studied accounting and economics at the University of Toronto and fashion design at George Brown College.<ref>{{cite web|accessdate=2020-11-18|title=Kavi Kavi's last collection was called Indian Royalty, but Dipika Gupta's new line has a futuristic touch.|url=https://www.pressreader.com/canada/ottawa-citizen/20130907/283231620746720|website=Ottawa Citizen|date=September 7, 2013}}</ref> Gupta learned sewing from her mother and sold her first paid of pants at the age of 12 years and after completing their formal education she founded [[Kavi Kavi]] a Toronto based fashion design company along with her twin sister and older sibling in 2003.<ref>{{cite web|first1=Russ Martin|last1=June 10|last2=2009|accessdate=2020-11-18|title=Salads are in style at McDonald’s|url=http://marketingmag.ca/brands/salads-are-in-style-at-mcdonalds-9163}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=admin|accessdate=2020-11-18|title=KAVI’s KAVI’s Take on Affordable East Indian Luxe|url=https://fashionreverie.com/?p=39|date=18 June 2012|website=Fashion Reverie}}</ref> | |||
==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. | |||
Her insights, passion, call to responsibility and respect for the environment and sustainability is important to Dipika Gupta. As such, she incorporates a dogma of a sourcing process to manufacture with an ethical perspective. Purchasing her ethically-produced fashion line will place Dipika Gupta's Kavi Kavi collection line on the global platform that will allow others to follow in her footsteps and encourage the future generation of designers to design and produce in an ethical and environmentally responsible manner.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://kavikavi.com/pages/about-dipika|title=Dipika Gupta's design philosophy|work=Kavi Kavi|accessdate=2020-11-25}}</ref> | |||
