New on my radar is Falguni & Shane Peacock. Strange name, beautiful collection, shown today at the On/Off venue in the Science Museum. These two designers are based in Mumbai but have an international appeal that is still rare for Indian designers. We saw a show full of impeccable cutting and innovative ideas – bubble hems, jewelled gowns, pixel-prints, chainmail sleeves and my favourite, a sculptural bubble dress made of pailettes.
What they wore at Nicole Farhi:
Florals, strappy heels and socks, mannish coats, denim cut-off jackets, Breton stripes, Chanel tweeds, more fur, more Gucci ankle boots, berets
Half-mast socks with strappy heels, 7/8th trousers, mohair, sculptural pleats, Winnie Lok knits, cocoon coats, blood-coloured lips, power blouses!
