Inspired by the Indian Maharaja and the Sadhu, Ruchika Sachdeva’s Lakmé Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2012 collection was a strong androgynous offering. Combining the two contrasting themes, Ruchika visualised sharply cut blazers and trousers, elegant silk blouses, smart shirt dresses and feminine pleated dresses that would be timeless fashion favourites. Shades of maroon, burnt orange, olive and mustard were the prime choice of the designer, while hand woven pure cotton denim, crepe, wool and tulle formed the base.

Adding on a fun element, Ruchika had white ghungroos and embroidered moustaches to present the theme on the garments. Women’s wear was slightly androgynous with floppy jackets, piped sleeves, and pockets, long jacket/dresses, and loose shirt-coats with fake waistcoat accents, jumpsuits and blouses.

Tulle was used as an interesting embellishment and appeared at times only in the front of the garment or followed the lines of the solid shape below. Experimenting with men’s wear for the first time, Ruchika followed her distinct styling details in classic tailoring for the stronger sex combining it with unconventional detailing to define the look. Tulle appeared for the menswear too, with a slight reversal in silhouettes – wide culotte trousers, V neck tunics and elongated shirts.
