Understated elegance

Simple lines and natural fabrics are the quintessence of Goa-based designer Wendell Rodricks' creations. The ace designer who has made a mark in the fashion scene - at home and abroad has recently launched his signature line in Chennai.

Showcased at Westside, the lifestyle store at Spencer's Plaza, the clothes are perfect for those who go for understated elegance. Conscious of the astounding pricing of designer wear, Wendelll has made a special effort to reach out to smaller pockets with a range that starts at Rs. 699. The collection for men and women comes in free sizes.

According to the designer, "Emphasis has been on concrete themes, experimental colours, exotic fibre weaves, structural simplicity based on geometric shapes and hand-painted detail. The silhouettes are linear, fluid."

Kurtas, tops or Indo-Westerns... the creations are for women who desire that slim, tall look. The men's line of couture comes in cotton, crush cotton, textured cottons etc., and is distinct for its non-fussy designs and comfortable fits.
