With his label, DRVV, designer Druv Kapur ups the ante in the after-dark glam game.
Since the premiere of his collection in 2012, up-and-coming New Delhi designer Druv Kapur's DRVV designs have evolved fast. With a focus on self-expression, individualism and femininity, Kapur's DRVV brand aims to make a bold statement without losing sophistication and style. Kapur's avant-garde designs are sought after by high-profile celebrities like actress Lisa Ray and TV personalities Malaika Arora Khan and Anusha Dandekar.

For his summer/resort 2015 collection, Undress Code, Kapur deconstructed each garment to unveil the right amount of skin, oozing sex appeal. Models donned columned gowns with structured cut-outs, which paired perfectly with unzipped seams to recreate a torn effect.

Women's suits were refashioned in an off-shoulder peplum style, while blazers veered off the traditional path in the form of a tailored halter-cut jacket paired with slim-cut jumpsuits. Poplin tunics had subtle zip detailing and married well with sheer wide-legged trousers. Meanwhile, Kapur showcased maxi dresses with ebony silk satin and plunging backs.
