MUMBAI: For Spring/Summer 2007
Goan designer, Wendell Rodricks chose the international colour
palette of black, grey, white and red but his theme was far
from summery and cool. It was the ethereal mysteries from his
Goan region where beings of the nether world abide and so it
was Les Vamps that set the mood for a fashionable shock for
the audience at Lakme Fashion Week.
Wendell's fabric choice stayed true to his favourites –
silk, crepe, charmeuse,
chiffon, cotton, linen, chenille, wool, crepe, crushed silk,
tulle, pleated organza, metallic Lycra and woven damask which
he skillfully textured.
The Wendell Rodricks silhouette has always been his forte with
volume, fluidity, flow and asymmetric layering. But his
constructions were strong too, and so were his innovations
like looped sari pallav, multiple net pleating, angel and
batwings, circular drapes, ripped satin inserts and draped
pleated tunics.
From his first entry of a long black flowing
robe with skinny trumpet
sleeves over a red shimmering mini, the designer carried the
spiritual theme of a more dark kind for pleated organza
covers, black linen blouson with
leggings under sheer wrap
skirts, a black voluminous poncho, grey shaded long kurta,
interesting circular dupatta sleeves, a dramatic net sari with
a pleated pallav and then moved on to black asymmetric top
over red lining worn with
shorts, a tunic with
placement pleats on the bodice and black net gown with flesh
coloured lining.
Men's wear was stylish with sherwanis, short hip length button
less
jackets, comfort tunics,
sharply tailored shirts with epaulets and sheer/opaque linen
shirts. While the Wendell Rodricks theme may be a trifle
unconventional for the coming season his collection was as
earthy as ever. |
