Sweet! Wendell Rodricks gets a standing ovation

As Rodricks took to the runway that he first established more than a decade ago with the then Lakme boss Anil Chopra, the entire show area erupted in a thunderous (not to mention totally deserving) applause.

Dressed in a black suit, the softspoken designer thanked the audiences and organisers for the appreciation.

"This award doesn't belong to me alone," he said as he took a bow, "It is a celebration of the entire fashion industry."
