Princess Pea's new avatar
When it comes to design, it's the cross pollination of ideas from different streams that intrigues the mind. One such recent collaboration is between Gurgaon-based artist Princess Pea and Delhi fashion design label, Lovebirds. Pea, who is a visual artist known to explore gender and identity, while wearing a giant doll head, gave an art performance at the label's presentation at the ongoing fashion week last weekend on the theme, Born of Fire. The artist performed a balletic sequence, and the message projected was "What about me if I only think of You?", a phrase that was chanted through the performance, which started with a monologue on the defined notions of beauty, gender, and appearances in contemporary lifestyles.
