The wife and husband design team behind the eponymous label

Falguni & Shane Peacock

(image from pinkvilla.com):

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.
