Rikshaw Project by FDCI and NIFT

FDCI recently approached 50 designers to create rikshaws in collaboration with NIFT students. Initially, these rikshaws were meant to be displayed at the Commonwealth Games, however, they were instead displayed at the recent Wills Lifestyle Fashion Week in Pragati Maidan.
 I was lucky to be part of this project, and worked with designers Anjana and Ankita Bhargava, and Pooja Chatterjee to create an original design for our rikshaw. We conceptualized our rikshaw as a modern Indian woman, and created an interesting couture hair-do inspired by the traditional Indian bun or 'jooda'. We worked with many materials like acrylic, aluminium and wire mesh to put together our rikshaw.
Here is a photo of the finished rikshaw on display at Fashion Week-
