Footwear designer Swati Modo will be showcasing some real attention-grabbers at the Delhi Fashion Week, which kicks off on March 19. Modo custom-designs shoes for her clients and has worked those accessories for fashion designers like JJ Valaya, Zubair Kirmani, Rimzim Dadu, in the last three fashion seasons.
Her shoes also retail at her signature store in Delhi's designer district Shahpurjat, at funky store Nimboo Closet in Bangalore and at Anonym in Hyderabad.
Last year, she designed a collection of shoes with a zodiac theme for men and women, and according to the designer it was a raging success.
So, can anyone carry off these bold babies?
