Consumers might be hard-pressed to buy ready-to-wear at full price these days, but savvy fashion accessories designers who offer unique products at reasonable prices could be poised to profit. Take Little Shilpa: Touted as India’s answer to Philip Treacy, the label’s designer, Shilpa Chavan, unveiled a World War II-inspired tour de force at Lakmé fashion week.

Chavan’s designs, sold at My Sugarland in London and Villa Moda’s Middle East outposts, run between about $110 and $600, and they manage to convey the fraught global moment as well as India’s complicated relationship to its colonial history.
