The curtains fell on the FDCI India Couture Week 2024 with a dazzling finale by Falguni Shane Peacock. The show, a perfect amalgamation of luxury and modern aesthetics, had Bollywood stars Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna, as the showstoppers. The duo are also co-starring in the upcoming film, ‘Chhava’.
Rashmika, breaking the conventional mould of showstoppers, opened the show in a resplendent white lehenga that featured intricate sequin and pearl embellishments. The cascading dupatta, adorned with delicate pearls, added a touch of drama to her ensemble. Vicky Kaushal complemented her in an ivory and gold bandh gala while closing the show, and created a harmonious pastel palette.

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.
