I am so caught up in all things HK, that my India postings are quite few and far between. Fortunately, IMG Indian Fashion Week just closed in Mumbai and I have been meaning to write about this accessories designer for a bit. Littleshilpa is a Mumbai based designer whose handcrafted accessories, most notably her hat and head gear, make her Indian's answer to Philip Treacy. Not certain if she sales in NYC, but can be found at Villa Moda's Middle East stores and My Sugarland in London. Her inspirations and references range from pure fantasy to India's complicated relationship colonialist history. I am less enthused about her recent show in Mumbai (hope this was just a one off fashion blunder), so will share with you previous projects and collections. This is certainly someone to watch.
