Petite Mumbai-based Shilpa Chavan is India's answer to Brit milliner Philip Treacy -- she has trained under him too. The pre-show buzz about the only qualified milliner in our country, was not all hot air. Life in Technicolour by Little Shilpa -- the petite accessory designer's label -- lined accessories worthy of Native American royalty from the future. The neon acrylic cuffs and anklets will turn heads at the nightclub. Flamboyant Perspex headdresses will have you balancing a mini metropolis on your head. Soft feather Mohawk masks will have passersby go cock-a-doodle-do! Showstopper Bhawna Sharma's look was that of an ultramodern tribal princess in head-to-toe accessories. She even engulfed the tiny designer in her arms at the last bow, with the ferocity of a lioness.
