Biography
Masaba Gupta (born 2 November 1989) is an Indian fashion designer and actress with her label called House of Masaba.
At the age of 19, Gupta applied for fashion in Mumbai with support from Wendell Rodricks. She named her first collection Kattran (transl. Miniature bits of fabric). Her Lakme Fashion Week 2014 collection "Wanderess" was "inspired by novelist Roman Payne’s doe-eyed gypsy girl character, Saskia" in his novel, The Wanderess. Gupta has become known for the creative and artistic names she gives each collection.
In 2016, Gupta collaborated with Maybelline New York to produce a collection of clothes inspired by a new lipstick line that the company was launching, but the project fell through for a variety of logistical reasons. She has stated that the biggest regret of her career was her Stylista collection.
In 2017, she was tasked with representing India in an exhibit showcasing re-designs of Levi's iconic trucker jacket. She chose to use her signature cow motif. The exhibit also featured a re-design by Justin Timberlake and other celebrities.
Gupta has been credited as the first Indian designer to do a fashion show via Instagram. She claims that around 60 percent of her sales happen through WhatsApp.
In 2018 she launched a hijab-saree line targeting Muslim women who want to wear Indian high fashion.
In 2019, Netflix announced a new TV series starring Gupta and her mother Neena Gupta, Masaba Masaba, a semi-fictional series in which the duo show glimpses of their lives through fashion and film.
