![Meet Mohanjeet y’all. This last summer I spent a hot minute in Paris shooting a documentary about her.
Two years ago while backpacking I met Mohanjeet— a baddie/fellow Punjaban who disrupted the Parisian fashion landscape in the 60s. Her Indian-centric aesthetic was creating with the intention of shifting the idea of Indian garments being “cheap” while challenging simplified dichotomies of a “modern” vs “traditional” woman through clothing. You all already know the politics of fashion are my cup of tea, and I was ecstatic.
But the story shifted— when I asked her why she started her label. “Survival,” she said. And then followed a month of exploring themes of South Asian womanhood & expectation, the meaning of Home as a diasporic subject, and identity: the ultimate work in progress.
Here we are looking reaaal cute on our last day of shooting 👯♀️ [Documentary Release: TBD— but any interested souls, from editors, music makers, etc— shoot me a line 🍦] #ADIMAY](http://scontent-ort2-2.cdninstagram.com/vp/c217326f5edea7fe094dde2079b35058/5CCD96EA/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/c179.0.721.721/s640x640/49538204_289628661752460_5147304384855105677_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-ort2-2.cdninstagram.com "Meet Mohanjeet y’all.
