Wendell
Rodrick's "Tropical Paradise":
The grand finale of the LFW was
manipulated by designer Wendell Rodricks who exhibited his "Tropical Island" Collections
for Spring/Summer on April 2nd. The auditorium turned into a
tropical beach with palm trees, charming tropical flowers, embedded in a
background of beautiful blue sea, and white clouds of snow. The audience
traveled through the sea, and viewed a collection of fabrics with a languid
nature of the theme. The models walked around the ramp covered with gleaming
sand exhibiting collections of the Tropical Island range building the seasons
freshness. Electric hues of summer like tangerine, grape, watermelon, green
sap, reflected in his collections. It was also accompanied by the cool shades of
aqua blue, sand yellow, bleached gold, translucent sheers of bronze and fine
pearls.
Rodrick's beach belle was brought
alive on the ramp modeled by Lakme models, Indrani Dasgupta, Yana Gupta, Amrit
Maghera and Vipasha Agarwal. The clothes were exhibited in satin, lycra
georgette, chiffon, linen, jersey along with excellent trimmings. Trims played
a vital role in this event elaborated with discs, breast plates, elastic mesh
added to pleats, and truffles. Sri Lankan attires were hand painted sarongs for
men in shades of watermelon, yellow, and hibiscus, created in silk chiffon
kaftan shift. Garments of Goa represented white blouses, diva dresses and
shifts. Silhouettes from Wendell Rodricks possessed a feminine and graceful
charm crowned with an elegant look. His feet planted in his ancestral village
in Goa, Wendell Rodricks rules the hearts of fashion aficionados.
