The internationally renowned designer duo built a 60 m ramp for their show Under a starlit sky with a 60-metre ramp that ran down the lawns, award-winning designers Falguni and Shane Peacock unveiled their “Runaway Bride” collection at the grand finale of the Beach Fashion Week in Goa. Swinging to the beats of DJs Nina and Malika of Elektrovertz, the models showcased elegant bridalwear from the duo.
The Peacock Bride is a woman who is sexy, stylish, very daring, yet elegant and traditional. Keeping the new age Indian woman’s wedding trousseau requirements in mind, the designing pair created sensuous, sleek gowns, ornate cropped tops with swirling printed skirts, gossamer fine lehengas, luxuriously embroidered jackets and stunning gowns. The colour choice matched the theme of the show as pastel pink, eye-catching grey, striking blue, red, yellow, gentle aqua green, and pristine white added to the glam factor of the creations.
Known for their striking prints’ stories, the creative pair ensured that they were the highlight of the collection. Tonal embroidery was the centre of attraction but in an innovative mix of floral and geometric patterns.
Opening the show with a baby pink net lehenga and printed cropped top, the assortment of fishtail low back gowns, hip high slit shimmering long tubes, luxurious will-power or corset style lehenga-cum-gowns with shoulder trail and hip hugging long flared embroidered skirts were visions of beauty.
