M. Kayrouz was born in Lebanon and educated at the

Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne

In 2008, he launched a couture line and

was a guest designer of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture.

However, since 2012 he has redirected his design efforts

to ready to wear fashion.

…

French Elle Magazine named M. Kayrouz as one of

the emerging design talents of 2011.

He is of definite note on the fashion radar.

…

His collection for Paris Fashion Week, a/w 2014

is elegant, controlled, functional, wearable

The separates are interchangeable, allowing for

a versatility of dress options –

a welcomed feature of any collection.

…

Of particular favourites are the skirt/top ensembles

and the deep burgundy oversized coloured coat.

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.
