For 2016,

metallics

continue on favoured fashion status-

generating a “razzmatazz’ factor to any article of clothing.

 

 

Of shine, sparkle and shimmer quality

metallic pieces

are of visual and textural interest.

 

Add a glam and glow metallics feature piece

as a wardrobe essential;

pair with a contrasting material type for

a modern look of mixed fabrication.

 

 

Go with the Glow Flow

Whether full cover-   from head to toe

or limited pieces-    statement items,

metallics generate full visual impact.

…

The silver sheen is my treasured favourite.

draw steady inspiration from bright and bold colours-

evocative of their East Indian heritage.

True to their design aesthetics, the S/S 2013 collection is

a glorious pyrotechnic display:

fashion fire art.

The use of digital print on metallic fabric with intricate embellishments

gives further depth and dimension to the collection.

Contrast this rich colour commotion with simple, elegant silhouettes and

as with any fireworks presentation, the collection captivates attention.

Falguni & Shane is a go to label for many of the music industry’s

fashion divas extraordinaires:  Katie Perry, Nicki Minaj, Fergie, Lady Gaga …

so creating singular, edgy, statement wear is a forte.

The S/S 2013 collection proves their design versatility.

The excitement of colour and print is in evidence,

yet there are pieces of classic forms:   signature, wearable, delightful.
