Falguni Shane Peacock’s ‘Rang Mahal’ collection, unveiled at the grand finale of the Couture Week 2024, was a mesmerising ode to India’s rich heritage. This showcase was a collaborative effort with Swadesh, a brand dedicated to preserving India’s textile legacy and supporting its artisans.

Inspired by the grandeur of royal palaces, the collection was a resplendent mosaic of colours, textures, and intricate craftsmanship. Kanjivaram silks, renowned for their opulence, were the foundation of this sartorial masterpiece. Adorned with real gold and silver zari, these saris exuded a regal aura.
