The first edition of
Gionee India Beach Fashion Week 2015 came to a glamorous end, when
renowned designer duo Falguni and Shane Peacock showcased their "Runaway
Bride" collection at the Grand Finale on the picturesque lawns of La
Brise here Saturday night.
The mood was set right for the finale
with DJs Nina and Malika of Elektrovertz playing in the background and
the audience lounging on the comfortable sofas.
Keeping the New
Age Indian woman's wedding trousseau requirements in mind, the designing
pair created sleek gowns, ornate cropped tops with swirling printed
skirts, gossamer fine lehengas, luxuriously embroidered jackets and
stunning gowns.
"The Peacock Bride is a woman who is sexy,
stylish, very daring, yet elegant and traditional," said the
designer-duo after the show.
The colour choices varied from
pastel pink, grey, blue, red, yellow, aqua green, and white on the
collection that was highlighted by tonal embroidery in an innovative mix
of floral and geometric patterns.
Opening the show with a baby
pink net lehenga and printed cropped top, it was followed by fishtail
low back gowns, corset style lehenga-cum-gowns with shoulder trail and
hip hugging long flared embroidered skirts.
There were also long
sleeved shirts; tiny velvet and net tank tops, boleros or just plain
t-shirts with either racer back or skivvy silhouettes.
To
complete the look, the designer-duo displayed a jaunty printed baseball
caps to add a sporty angle to the wardrobe of the bride in a hurry.
