Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla present The Golden Peacock

Veteran designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla presented The Golden Peacock in Mumbai yesterday. This haute couture showing of ornate ensembles was held to benefit the Sahachari foundation. The proceeds would go towards the cause of pediatric cancer. The funds raised will support St. Jude’s India Childcare Centre, an institution dedicated to support children suffering from cancer.

Said the designers, “We have a deep commitment to ‘giving back’. We have been blessed with so much and feel it is not merely our duty, but also a privilege to share ourselves, our creativity and our resources with those less fortunate.”

Even though there were a number of Bollywood stalwarts in attendance, like Jaya Bachchan, Sridevi, Asha Parekh and Shammi, the highlight of the evening was simply the beautiful fashion show which highlighted the peacock motif and Indian craftsmanship in spectacular forms.
