India’s guru of minimalism and pioneer of resort wear and eco-conscious clothes in India, Wendell Rodricks brings to Biofach, Nuremberg, a collection of organic clothing, named after the celebrated Eco Goa room at the Wendell Rodricks Design Space in Panaji.
The Wendell Rodricks Eco Goa collection consists of garments that are easy on the eye and the wearer. These are garments that one can be at ease in, yet cut a fluid silhouette. Employing his famed Indian method of cutting based on ancient geometry, Wendell Rodricks sends out clothes that are striking in simplicity and minimalism, unusual in the colour combination of a soothing colour palette and complex in composition based on circles, squares, loops and drapes.
The first Indian designer to be invited to Igedo, Dusseldorf in 1995, Wendell Rodricks is pleased to be the first Indian designer to now show at the world’s largest organic fair. He says, “It is an honour to be chosen to display my garments at Biofach for many reasons. Not only is this the the world fashion map. I truly believe in the environment-friendly concept of clothing. We all need to be more conscious of the fragile state of our planet and clothing can play an important part of this movement. When we buy an eco garment, we are saving more water and reserving cleaner air for our planet. I thank the organisers of Biofach for inviting me and my team to this prestigious event and wish Biofach the very best to become a large part of every fashionista’s life.”
Celebrating the beauty of Malkha cotton fabric and dyes made entirely of natural leaves, fruit skins, flowers and bark, the Eco Goa collection is a tribute to the beauty of nature. “Being eco conscious is to respect the earth as a Mother Goddess. We have been gifted clean water, clear air and fabulous greenery. Goa has been blessed by natural resources. We need to celebrate what the God have given us and preserve this Goa for future generations. I go to Nuremberg with a message. We all can do our small role to create the bigger message of a better world for our children,” adds Wendell.
