Ruchika Sachdeva and a Tokyo winter
I started my label Bodice in 2011 as a young designer but I have always been conscious about the depletion of natural resources, and am constantly on the lookout for alternative materials. The spring-summer collection we launched in Delhi last month was a collaboration with Bemberg, an eco-friendly textile produced by the Japan-based Asahi Kasei. It is a 100% regenerated cellulose fibre processed from cotton linter that is biodegradable and soft. Before I started work on the collection, I wanted to inspect their process myself. It wasn’t the first time I had used Bemberg or my first visit to Japan.
