SWATI MODO
Shoe designer, Swati Mehrotra, has created a unique collection of exclusive avant-garde footwear whose inspiration rises from the vibrant colours of human character, memories, emotions and endeavours. Designing with a difference, there is an in-depth concept behind each pair of shoes made by her signature brand known as Swati Modo. Some ingenious insights behind the shoes include peacocks, casino, glamour, pet animals, passion, sea shore and jaws and paws. With custom designing as a main priority, each product has a distinctive theme and character. The shoes are made by leather specialists in Agra, with the extensive use of handicrafts in leather, fur, suede, stones and fabrics. Aesthetically appealing, Swati Modo is an individualistic brand that strongly believes in reflecting your ideas in your shoes. The Swati Modo collection was showcased under the debutante designer, Rimzim, at the Lakme Fashion Week in October.
