The closing night of the 17th edition of FDCI’s Hyundai India Couture Week 2024 witnessed the creative brilliance of Falguni Shane Peacock as they showcased their latest couture collection, Rang Mahal, to conclude the week-long celebration of Indian artistry and craftsmanship.
On July 31, 2024, Durbar Hall at the Taj Palace in New Delhi was set to create the perfect backdrop for the spectacle unfolding with Falguni Shane Peacock’s Haute Couture collection. The rustic stage mimicked a mystical palace with glimmering chandeliers, majestic elephants, serene swans and a lotus centrepiece to complement the collection’s theme.
The much-awaited show started with enthralling live music filling the hall with serenity as the gorgeous Rashmika Mandana walked down the ramp dressed in an ivory lehenga.
RANG MAHAL: HYUNDAI INDIA COUTURE WEEK 2024
For Falguni Shane Peacock, 2024 marks the milestone of 20 glorious years in the fashion industry, promoting the legacy of couture through stellar creations, one collection at a time and Rang Mahal was no different.
For this year’s couture collection, the brand collaborated with Swadesh, a Reliance Foundation initiative that supports and promotes skilled artisans and weavers, to create a rare collection that celebrates the union of modern couture and age-old craftsmanship.
Talking about the collection, Rang Mahal drew its inspiration from the diverse Indian cultural and traditional elements, including majestic palaces, pristine lotuses, majestic horses, vibrant parrots, serene swans and more. In true Falguni Shane Peacock style, each ensemble showcased the marriage of vivid hues and luxurious fabrics, adorned with intricate embroidery patterns illustrating diverse traditional elements.
The opulent collection featured a galore of resplendent lehengas, hand-woven sarees, dapper sherwani sets, modern dress designs and chic kurta sets, tailored from the finest Kanjeevaram silk, Banarasi silk, tulle, chiffon, velvet and raw silk. Through this year’s couture collection, fashion mavens got to witness creative facets that are refreshingly new to the brand, such as the use of woven fabrics, multicoloured creations and mirrorwork, along with familiar fixings including feather capes, massive veils, mermaid skirts, ornamental tassels and extensive use of sequins, crystals, beads and stones.
The awe-inspiring show concluded with the charming Vicky Kaushal and the stunning Rashmika Mandanna walking down the ramp dressed in exquisite Falguni Shane Peacock creations. While Vicky was dressed in an embellished beige sherwani, Rashmika looked ethereal in an ivory and gold-embellished lehenga.
The glorious event was brought to life in association with Hyundai India and Reliance Brands Ltd. The resplendent jewellery pieces adorned by the models and Rashmika were in collaboration with our jewellery partner, Tanishq. Lastly, the iconic and bold makeup looks were created using makeup products by makeup and hair partner, Lotus Herbals.
