This cycle’s going places

High fashion meets desi kitsch? Mumbaibased visual artist Sameer Kulavoor’s fascination with cycles has found place in a unique fashion collaboration with British menswear brand Paul Smith. The owner of design studio Bombay Duck Designs had documented Indian cycles in all its avatars in his acclaimed ‘ Ghoda Cycle Project’ in 2012. British designer Paul Smith, a former professional cyclist, decided to feature four of Kulavoor’s designs in his Autumn/ Winter 2013 collection.
