LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Indian designers Falguni and Shane Peacock have busted out of Bollywood straight through to Hollywood. Their champion? Britney Spears.
In the video for her newest single "Hold It Against Me," the pop queen raises up her fists like Muhammad Ali and cat-fights with her doppelganger while sheathed in ornate outfits by the married design duo. Britney One is clad in a short black mini-dress encrusted with intricate fuchsia and red bead work, feathered shoulders and a slinky red train. Britney Two wears a similar version in navy blue.
The video has been a high career point for the Peacocks, who have dressed everyone from singers Katy Perry, Fergie and Brandy to hip-hop artist Nicki Minaj in their sassy, detailed, futuristic frocks in just the past year. The couple, who married in 2001, debuted their designs outside India about eight seasons ago at Los Angeles Fashion Week, and have shown in London for six years. At first, they mainly dressed Indian actresses. Then American stars caught on.
