Lady Gaga, Little Shilpa and moi...

Never thought I would say this but Lady Gaga and I share an accessories designer who goes by the name of Little Shilpa. Oh yes, on my third blog and I'm already name dropping. But you need those attention grabbing headlines, eh? So let me get back to Shilpa. As the name suggests, she is little, very little but has a big talent for making accessories original, fun and without boundaries.
She trained as a milliner at Central St Martins, after which she enhanced her skill under the direction of Philip Treacy. For this girl nothing is off bounds when it comes to inspiration be it guns, plastic bottles or toy soldiers. And with fans like Colin Mcdowell and a myriad of magazines lining up to work with her, she is obviously doing something right.She has collaborated with Another Man, Dazed Korea, Tank, Crash, Vogue Homme Japan and Vogue UK to name a few.
All her pieces are handcrafted and one off but as she says they may have a sister or cousin but never will you find an exact replica of the same piece.
To me she is a true artist but don't take my word for it, check out these images.
