In 2004, Falguni Peacock and Shane Peacock entered the fashion industry with their label Falguni Shane Peacock. The brand brings together Falguni’s expertise in embroidery and Shane’s love for embellishments to structured, tailored silhouettes. Soon, they began showcasing their work at international fashion weeks including New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and London. Over time, the brand has come to represent a distinctly modern take on Indian couture. FSP has dressed big names including Beyoncé, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, and Kim Kardashian.

In November of last year, RPSG Ventures Limited, part of the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group, acquired a 40 per cent stake in FSP Design Private Limited, the parent company of the fashion label.

The latest milestone for the brand is the opening of their Mumbai flagship store. They also have a collaboration with Katrina Kaif’s Kay Beauty to launch Kay Kouture, a premium beauty brand. In a rapid-fire chat with Robb Report India, the two share their design inspirations and also tell us what’s next for the brand.
