Bodice by Ruchika Sachdeva presented new collection ‘The Domino Effect’ for the finale of the Fashion Design Council of India x Lakme Fashion Week and Ananya Panday walked as the showstopper.

To celebrate its 10th Birthday, Bodice showcased an architecture-inspired womenswear collection with a runway show and accompanying fashion film on Sunday. The collection featured rich hues, a modern, formal aesthetic, and bold stripe details. Panday closed the show in a cropped cream blouse and colour blocked skirt that took the shape of a lehenga and reinterpreted it for a global audience. 
 
“The designs are detail-centric, minimal in approach, and utilise the most meticulous artisanal techniques,” said Sachdeva, Lakme Fashion Week announced on Facebook.

“The collection has been designed to be a marriage between our rich heritage, and the contemporary metamorphosis that we’re going through.”

Richika Sachdeva launched Bodice in May 2011 after graduating from the London College of Fashion and interning with designers including Vivienne Westwood and Giles Deacon, according to the brand’s website. The brand retails from its dedicated e-commerce store and has a presence in multi-brand boutiques in India and internationally.
