The fashion week fever is over after an Instagram-heavy week of celebrity showstoppers, jazzy collections and designers clamouring to create 'unique' shows. The mood was set by designer duo Falguni and Shane Peacock, who opened the FDCI India Couture Week with a stunning collection of glittering pastels inspired by the Renaissance. They had a fitting showstopper in actor Kiara Advani, who channelled 'Barbiecore' in a pink lehenga that was touted as one of the best closing looks of the week.
Asked if Barbie pink will be the trend for this year's wedding season, Falguni and Shane say that pink has always been one of the quintessential bridal colours. "Each year, in our couture collection, we experiment with different shades of pink," they say. "And this year, it was all about Barbie pink. While trends may come and go, we believe that pink in bridal wear is here to stay. Whether Barbie pink or any other shade, pink will continue to be a sought-after colour for brides." They think that this wedding season, brides and grooms will likely opt for softer colours like ivory and pastels.
