Fashioning the ying and yang of sexiness
The autumn/winter 2019 edition of the India Fashion Week comes to an end in New Delhi tonight with a finale dedicated to celebrating sarees. While it's really not a ground-breaking concept, given the constant conversations around the six-yard drape, we are quite thrilled about the yin and yang sarees that would be twinning on the runway as part of the show.

"It was entirely Schulen's [Fernandes] concept, I helped her with the dramatic crinkled organza pallu, which is quintessential to our brand," designer Wendell Rodricks told this diarist over a call from Goa. In traditional Chinese culture, the yin and yang symbol represent shadows and light. It is used to describe how opposites are interconnected and independent in the natural world. The symbol stands for striking a balance act. Fernandes, the creative director for the Wendell Rodricks label, took the idea and put a resort-wear spin to it by anchoring the ensemble on the sensual low-cut swimsuit with the drape tucked over it. The integration of two dots in monochrome definitely gets our vote. "This one is not for unforgiving bodies, though," Rodricks added with a laugh.
