Evelyn Sharma walked the ramp for Falguni and Shane Peacock’s Ethereal “Garden Of Eden” Collection at IBFW 2013

Bollywood graceful actress Evelyn Sharma looked stunning in a bright red lehenga, when she walked the ramp as a show stopper for designer duo Falguni and Shane Peacock during the IBFW 2013. Inspired by their travels to Monaco, Nice and the Gardens of Lake Como, Falguni and Shane Peacock displayed their ethereal “Garden of Eden” collection at the Aamby Valley India Bridal Fashion Week 2013.

It was a memorable and ultra-feminine journey for the audience as the designing duo’s 2013 “Peacock Bride” label was a visual study in colour, fabric, form and style. Bringing onto the ramp the multi hues of the most beautiful gardens on earth, the palette revealed pistachio, pink, red, white, ivory and gold.The fabrics selected were a perfect base starting with net, chiffon, velvet and georgette, which were embellished with amazing floral motifs, clumps of seductive vintage lace and the trade mark feathers that the pair is well known for.


Opening the show with the most stunning Red Carpet gowns, the designing duo set the mood for a superb line of bridal creations that would please the western as well as the ethnic bride.

Gowns with seductive fish tails dazzled with gold, silver and coloured 3D embroidery. The ombré purple sequinned gown with an attached pink net trail, the finely moulded red creation, silver figure hugging maxi with a feather shrug and the lace embroidered pale dusty green gown with peek-a-boo back; gave an amazing variety to choose from.

Velvet and net were blended effortlessly, while lace and embroidery played a magnificent symphony on the creations. The highlights of the gowns were the visually arresting metal/silver peplum Obe-like belts at the waist that were the cynosure of all eyes.


Moving into the ethnic section, the fusion line of kurtas was layered generously in net with velvet bodices. From slim lean lines for appliquéd long numbers, to voluminous frothy creations with asymmetric lines, the kurtas dazzled on the ramp.
Bringing in a touch of the Spanish flamenco dress style, the three red/pink/melon lace kurtas was a great Indo-Western offering. Layers of colourful lace and tulle edged with silver and silk created a western silhouette for kurtas. Pastels came to the forefront for long sleeved lacy layered tubes.

When it came to the sari, the designing pair pulled out all stops as net and velvet turned the dual fabric combo into an innovative creative look for the 6-yard-wonder. Embellished net pleats swished with feminine elegance, while the velvet pallavs added grace and beauty to the drapes.

The final lehenga, choli and dupatta section was a story in regal grandeur when the creations glided down the ramp. Starting with shades of pink with lavish embroidery and floating feathers on the hemlines, the ensembles teamed with sensuous cholis gleamed on the catwalk. Giant silver tassels edged the dupattas adding more excitement to the creations.

The three sindoor-red lehengas with magnificent embroidery worn with corset, bustier or tiny choli were a perfect offering as Falguni and Shane ensured that the bride’s big day will be one she will remember forever.Giving the final touch to the collection the designers had Bollywood star Evelyn Sharma sashing on the catwalk in a bright red lehenga encrusted with gold, teamed with a sexy matching velvet choli and pink net dupatta.    


From Red Carpet evening gowns to the swirling ghagras, Anarkalis, farshi pyjamas, kalidaar saris and bridal creations, Falguni and Shane Peacock proved that they can create magic for the bride with their “Garden of Eden” collection, whether she chooses to walk down the aisle or around the sacred Agni.
