New Delhi [India], August 1 (ANI): The grand finale of India Couture Week 2024 was full of elegance and glamour. Bollywood stars Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna walked the runway as showstoppers for designer duo Falguni Shane Peacock.
Held on July 31 in Delhi, the last day of this big fashion event showed the beauty of traditional Indian crafts mixed with modern designs.
One highlight was the collaboration between Falguni Shane Peacock and Swadesh, creating a fusion dress collection that amazed everyone.
Speaking about this special collaboration, designer Falguni said, “You know, it was a very impromptu thing. We asked Mrs. Ambani that, you know, we want to create a unique collection with Swadesh. What do you think? She was like, yes, absolutely. And we created some amazing Kanjivarams and Banarasi brocade. And, you know, we’ve woven our monogram in it and given it a sort of a limited edition look, which is one of a kind,” she said.
Talking about the inspiration from India’s rich culture, the designer said, “I think India has so much inspiration, you just keep on getting inspired and it’s so nice to have so much to look around and get inspired.”
As the curtain fell on the week-long fashion extravaganza, Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna captivated the audience with their impeccable looks.
Falguni Shane Peacock, celebrating two decades of redefining Indian couture, showcased the latest collection, ‘Rang Mahal,’ as the highlight of the event.
This collection was a vibrant homage to India’s rich cultural tapestry and architectural grandeur.
The evening was further enlivened by a live concert featuring contemporary renditions of popular Bollywood hits, adding a dynamic musical element to the runway experience.
The bridal collection segment was particularly enchanting, with models walking to live renditions of hit songs such as ‘Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera’ from ‘Swades’, and other hits like ‘Mast Magan’, ‘Tere Hawale’, and ‘Peer Vi Tu’.
Rashmika and Vicky, as showstoppers, graced the runway to the soulful tunes of ‘Tere Bina’ from ‘Guru’ and ‘Ve Haaniya’, creating an unforgettable finale to the couture week.
India Couture Week 2024, which began on July 24, was a celebration of both established and emerging talent.
The week saw veteran designers Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla presenting their collections, with stars Wamiqa Gabbi and Taha Shah Badussha walking the ramp as showstoppers.
