Cannes has always been synonymous with red carpet fashion and taking this sartorial association one step further is the Indian designers Falguni and Shane Peacock showcasing a specially created line of forty Couture Gowns at launch of the first Cannes Fashion Festival, at Salon Croisette at the Hôtel Majestic Barrière, located right across from the Palais de Festival.
For the collection the duo treads the delicate path between fantasy and reality with excellent use of artisan technique never more apparent than in couture, and the brilliance of embroidery and embellishment, in a combination of pastel colors. Floor length dresses constructed with long slits along with a beautiful amalgamation of pastel hues, lace, crystal and their love for romance, the collection signifies the journey traveled in time.
The duo will be auctioning two of the pieces from the collection and the proceeds of which will be given to the Mandela Foundation.
