Lovely reader, meet a few of Falguni and Shane Peacock's spring summer 2011 creations. Believe it or not this new collection is inspired by animals facing extinction, in particular bees and tigers. Now then, even though I am totally enamored by the dresses - their intricacies really are fabulous - I'm not quite sure how the inspiration fits in! I think if you look closely though, the prints may reveal all.
May I just add here that the dresses pictured below are actually reserved for Rihanna, for her up coming performances! How exciting. Her stylist was in just before me!
We are told that "the label focuses on creating collections that are pure eastern fantasy. A mixture of romance, dramatic colour, sumptuous trademark prints, high octane glamour and breathtaking craftsmanship". Judging by their celeb following (Gaga (obvs!) Cheryl Cole et al), it's easy to see that 'aspirational' should be added to the list. They might be considered dresses that are so extreme fashion you can only picture someone else in them. Huge shoulders, feathers, beading, super-structure... they ooze sexy stage presence.
I was a bit mesmerized by the attention to detail. The manufacturing of each dress must take hours and hours. And it shows...
