Candolim (Goa), Nov 14 Celebrated fashion designer Wendell Rodricks exhibited his superb collection of whites, Bossa Nova (new trend) and the Cubist here on Friday.

The Wendell Rodricks 'Earth Goddess collection' showcased attires of coarse hand spun cotton, viscose jersey and silk.

The clothes of eco-friendly collections were treated to the colours of guava leaf, pomegranate, local plants and indigo, said Rodricks.

"There are three collections with three distinct parts. One is the white that I am known for, which has actually come from one section of the Delhi show. Then we are doing one part which is the eco-friendly part where we have used natural dyes in basically tones of green and this kind of brown, grey and then we finally go on to this Bossa Nova (new trend) style of Brazilian music. And finally we end with a cubist collection, which is the collection that is based on cubist motifs, even the sea horses that are on the garments are made in squares and the air bubbles are also in the square," said Rodricks.

In the BOSSA NOVA Collection, Rodricks used the sensual rhythm and fluid melody based on Brazil's languid, lounge style music Bossa Nova, as the fundamental theme.

'The Cubist' collection displayed modernity and visionary translation of the original Cubism artists at the dawn of the last century.

Model-turned Bollywood actress Minisha Lamba was the showstopper of the show and appeared excited about the event being held in the backdrop of the sea.

"I have admired his clothes from a very long time. But this is actually first time I'll be wearing his creation. And it's definitely not going to be the last time; this is only the first... that's going to start a whole series of me wearing his clothes. And it's fantastic to do it in Goa. I don't think I have ever seen a fashion in India where you have a sea as the backdrop, it's a rarity," said Lamba.

Goa-based designer Rodricks is known as the 'Guru of Minimalism' and has led the way to eco-friendly resort wears in the country. (ANI)
