Dearly departed delightful designer Wendell Rodricks lives on! Yes, the ocean comes alive in the latest collection of the Wendell Rodricks label, launched on August 13 at COMO Designers Collective in Porvorim, Goa. In a whirl of handloom cotton the ace designer’s legacy shines on, beaming a spotlight on the hues of glass trash left to the ocean’s devices. It is titled The Sea Glass Collection.

"We are very excited to present Wendell Rodricks at COMO Designers Collective as we collaborate with Purple Style Labs to retail the brand in Goa for its loyalists and fashionistas, who have been waiting to see its latest offerings in Goa, where it all started!" said Pallav Ojha, CEO and co-founder of COMO Designers Collective.

Talking about the collection, Neha Asthana, co-founder and Head of Fashion, COMO Designers Collective, said, "We are bringing to Goa the latest Sea Glass Collection inspired by the ocean’s greatest marvels. The collection features timeless styles styling, cut from handloom cotton (100 count khadi) with hues that cover Mist White, Fiji Yellow, Coral Pink, Belize and Mineral Gray touched with accents of Deep Sea Blue. We will also curate the best of ‘WR classics’ that represents the signature simplicity and elegant silhouettes of Wendell Rodricks that people long to have in their wardrobes from XS – XXL sizes."

Wendell Rodricks' loss last year shook the fashion world as well as environmentalists and cultural activists who have since mourned a man who advocated strongly for sustainability, local heritage, indigenous textiles and weavers. His legacy lives on through the Wendell Rodricks Design Studio, which continues to bring his incredibly stylish yet wearable fashion crafted carefully with luxurious, fluid and breathable fabrics to both men and women.

A select group of close friends, fashionistas, patrons and influencers attended the launch, enjoying an array of fine wines, white lilies and Goan food delight that Wendell loved. Established in 2018, COMO Designers Collective is a one-stop style destination with over 100 designer collections from the global runway platforms.
