Inspired by real stories and real people, Rina Dhaka has always weaved heart-warming stories in her collections. This season, at FDCI x Lakme Fashion Week, Rina brings The Unstoppables, an ode to all sportswomen who have made their mark, even in the toughest scenarios.
Celebrating the spirit of unstoppable women, Rina believes that no matter the situations, no matter the challenges, her spirit doesn’t break. And that’s exactly what the collection reflects. Each ensemble in the collection tells a sweet story inspired by their grit, strength, and perseverance.
The digital presentation will feature Paralympian Deepa Malik and Indian hockey player Udita Duhan. Speaking about having Deepa and Udita as part of the digital showcase, Rina says, “This year, the Tokyo Olympics took over my heart. It was heartening to see the Indian athletes make India proud. We don’t have the world’s most exceptional circumstances; our odds are much greater. In spite of that, the way the victories were won was commendable. The Paralympians brought us so much joy. It’s outstanding how they do it.”

The silhouettes from the collection are trend driven and feature designs which highlight Rina’s design sensibilities. The collection also highlights the handiwork of a tribal community in Bhuj, Gujarat. “There are these beautiful chokers and beaded accessories which are 100 per cent tribal products made in the heartland of Bhuj. We have superimposed them in a modern way on white for this spring collection. You will also notice Deepa wearing one of the chokers in the film,” adds Rina.
