About the edition

To coincide with our 2022 Gaze calendar release, Ashish has created a collection of 35 playful stickers to use in conjunction with the calendar or enjoy alone.  The stickers depart from the typical representation of the female pin up and celebrates queer bodies and gay desire.

Best known for his eponymous fashion label, this project marks an exciting departure from Ashish’s usual creative process. 

About the designer

Synonymous with glamour, maximalist design and ornate hand-embellishment, creative activist Ashish Gupta has injected his vibrant colour and personality in to the London fashion scene since being discovered by Browns Focus in 2001. Originally from Delhi (India), where he studied fine art before moving to London for an MA in fashion design at Central Saint Martins, Ashish's work considers politically-charged messages and social landscapes via hand embroidery and artisan tradition.

The London-based designer - a pioneering voice in an industry continually questioning its approach to diversity - has grown his eponymous label from winning the prestigious NEWGEN award three times, to being exhibited in the V&A and The Met. Ashish blurs the lines between sports and glamour, detritus and deluxe, couture and ready-to-wear.
