Fashion Week 2021: Falguni Shane Peacock

‘Love is,’ is inspired by the monument of Love – the Taj Mahal. The details of the collection seek to translate the visionary saga of Love by borrowing from the beauty of the Taj Mahal. From transcribing the innumerable motifs of the architectural gem on ensembles to varnishing them with refined adornments of Swarovski crystals, pearls, mirrors, sequins and beads. The collection is a medley of colours that scale from mellow muted tones such as baked beige and pearl ivory to pastels like rose pink and mint green, extending to deeper tones like emerald green and royal purple turquoise and valiant poppy. A splash of metallic hues viz. silvers and gold elevate the grandeur while adding a dash of glamour. The intricate crafting techniques replicated the structural marvel on the fabric via architectural motifs of domes and minarets, the filigree of foliage, and motifs of the century’s fauna and birds. The line is innovative in terms of method but firmly rooted in approach, a signature aesthetic of the label. The cuts are traditional yet au courant, think trailed Lehenga, fitted-and-flared silhouettes, and ball gown-style Lehengas that make for a befitting wedding day bridal trousseau. Internationally celebrated designers Falguni Shane Peacock made history their collection titled 'Love is', with a fashion film shot at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Taj Mahal, Agra. This momentous show makes Falguni Shane Peacock the first and only designer in the world to ever mount a show within the precincts of this magnificent monument of Love, the Taj Mahal.
