Shilpa Chavan



I happened to come across the fabulous stylist & designer Shilpa Chavan's latest exhibit titled Mumbadevi while flipping through a magazine. Fashioned from everyday objects found in Mumbai, the collection was inspired by rubber slippers, plastic toys,'matching centres', general provisions stores & paper cones among other everyday staples.
