BODICE STUDIO

In early 2018, New Delhi-based fashion label Bodice Studio won the coveted International Woolmark Prize—past winners include Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent, no less. For Bodice founder Ruchika Sachdeva, the win is a big deal, helping to secure profiles in The New York Times and in the American, Australian and British editions of Vogue in addition to making The Business of Fashion’s BoF 500 list. Already known in India, Bodice is a prime example of the beauty of slow fashion. Sachdeva melds luxurious handwoven Indian textiles with confident, inventive tailoring to create pieces rich with personality, femininity and global gravitas. She’s definitely one to watch.
