Thanks for the hugely overwhelming response that we recieved from all you guys for the Best of Shamiana Shorts that we'd be scrng on Thursday!
We've screened countless shorts over the last one year and all of them have been special for different reasons. So it was even more tough for me to handpick some of the gems amongst the entire bunch.
