Shilpa Chavan: Millinery Sauvage for Men

Cities | Paris | 21.05.2015

Yes, star commander, what are your orders?

BDMOTP was lucky enough to do a private quick-shoot bringing both the model and the photographer to the agency for Little Shilpa AW 15/16 in Paris and we caught the best of her extraordinary headgear collection in 15 minutes time.

Shilpa Chavan is a well-known hat – and headwear designer whose credits include working with major brands and being featured in major magazines, as well as working for national beauty pageants. She mostly designs for women and women like Lady Gaga, Cheryl Crow, and Nicki Minaj, as well as other female celebrities have worn and donned her awesome creations with pride, but today BDMOTP is honored to be able to you the following Primeur – that now men too with pride can wear fantastic creations from the grand old art of millinery and that certainly not all headwear for men will forever be limited to just boring classic caps, gills & cokes, or trilbys and fedoras.

For this is Shilpa Chavan pour Homme!

‘No quarter given, for now, but allow me to reflect’

The motto for this Little Shilpa headgear collection is Feral Nation with the concept and the idea being that wearing extraordinary headgear allows one to tap into your inner feral and wild side and indeed when we tried on the different gem-like pieces so much is becoming clear: That there is nothing just like an incredible piece of headwear or headgear that can change a man into what his destiny would have wanted him to be in the first place – a star commander, a bird-man, or perhaps an emperor of a realm since long forgotten, or yet to be discovered.

Tap in-to, your inner cockatoo

Whereas the headgear and wear is the feature and signature of the collection, the apparel comes along with it and has the overtones of military camouflage, military green, hunting green, and gold so as to give a fierce, subdued but determined look when people and the public will inevitably give you that look & stare as when they intensely try to assess your intentions or your social status. But this is grand of course, for who am I, if not but a man, if I cannot be sauvage, and wild or feral in my vain ambitions. L’etat, c’est moi, and it is good to be the king after all, and in my Kingdom sauvage, there shall be no venality allowed.

Headgear sauvage for men

Thus this grand collection fantastic by Shilpa Chavan for headgear sauvage will bring out the very best and very worst in both a brave as well as a reckless men who would be king or commander (or bird).

We have learned from ‘littleshilpa’ that there is a difference between hat-making and millinery in that not all headgear or headwear is limited to hat-making. And that headgear can change a man. Even in feral ways. But for men we like to call it sauvage.

Come to think of it, perhaps sunglasses are out-modeled and outdated these days. Who really needs sunglasses to hide yourself when you can have people publicly worship and fear your wildest dreams or ambitions? A feeling perhaps once exclusively known to women, now, thanks to Shilpa Chavan, also available to men.
