Internationally acclaimed designers Falguni Shane Peacock unveil ‘Renaissance Reverie’ at the opening show of FDCI’s Hyundai India Couture Week 2023, in association with Reliance Brands. The collection is an ode to the Renaissance period and a seamless fusion of rich Indian culture, techniques, and craftsmanship.
Falguni Shane Peacock’s design journey is fuelled by the transformative power of travel and the exploration of diverse cultures. Their inspirations are drawn from the enchanting world of museums, art galleries, vintage stores, and antique shops, where they discover captivating art and timeless treasures.
The ‘Renaissance Reverie’ collection reflects their love for art and the treasures they encounter during their travels. They draw inspiration from the vibrant colours found in art and the remarkable influences of embroidery textures. This unique fusion embodies the essence of the Renaissance era, showcasing the timeless beauty of its art, architecture, and fashion, while simultaneously paying homage to the artistic mastery of Indian influences and inspirations. Each garment in the collection is a testament to cultural exchange and celebrates the invaluable lessons they have learned from the past. The intricate embroidery techniques and handcrafted details showcase the meticulous workmanship of the skilled artisans, who expertly merge the grandeur of the Renaissance with the richness of Indian heritage.
The collection will take you on a remarkable journey, where the kaleidoscope of colours inspired by art will tell enchanting stories. From luscious strawberry yoghurt and Acapulco sand to understated elegance in Portland grey and sandshell beige, each hue has been carefully selected to evoke emotions and create visual masterpieces. Vibrant accents of sugar coral, primrose yellow, and purple ash add a modern twist, while Aztec brown and almandine infuse depth and allure. Delicate touches of whisper whites harmonize the palette, providing a canvas for the intricate embroidery and textures to shine.
Renowned jeweller Renu Oberoi’s eponymous brand Renu Oberoi Luxury Jewellery’s high jewellery collection will also grace the show. The collection features avant-garde designs that transcend time and seasons. Each versatile design is a one-of-kind and imagines luxury suitable for both western and Indian couture, from ramp to reality.

The brand’s flagship atelier is located at Nariman Point, Mumbai.
