It was truly a very enjoyable & informal afternoon with Wendell Rodricks at the ITC Sonar Bangla with members of Lsg and our guests. We started the event with a minute silence as a mark of respect for the late Dr. APJ Kalam ex President & patriot of India.
Wendell was introduced, as a man of myriad qualities ." Guru of minimalism" Wendell earned this title with his first collection. At a time when couture in India meant silk with embroidery, Wendell led the way with his rural cotton weaves,eco dyes and garment patterns favouring cut & colour, never resorting to embroidery in his entire career.Wendell has been the brain behind many Festivals of India , designed state official uniforms , written two successful books & is a huge philanthropist . He revived the weaving of the traditional Goan Kunbi Sari, discovered a dying village & helped its restoration & revived natural dyes & hand loom weaves. The man behind the first Lakhme Fashion Show also designed the Visionnaire collection, a world wide pioneering collection to help the visually challenged read Braille on clothes.
A man with a great sense of humour Wendell gave excellent tips to the ladies on colour silhouettes & makeup. The surprise of the afternoon was a makeover of four of our ladies by Lakhme & Wendells garments which delighted everyone by its simplicity & elegance . The Padma Shri from Colvale draws his inspiration from nature & transfers visual beauty & texture into his clothes.
Many thanks Wendell Rodricks for a lighthearted trip into the world of high fashion. More than 170 ladies enjoyed the sumptuous tea laid out by ITC hotel.
