While Amazon India Fashion Week ended this past Sunday (don’t miss out on this epic finale) one of the shows on Day 4 drove me absolutely crazy. Aneeth Arora presented her Autumn/Winter collection for péro in collaboration with Princess Pea – the alter ego of an Indian contemporary artist. As a full fledged marching band from the Madras Regiment took over the runway, models marched down dressed in uniforms so stylish, we wish we could wear them all day, everyday. Based on the lives people lead once they put on their uniforms, the military chic garments came in a mixture of floral, stripe and star prints. They came complete with Scottish checks woven in Himachal Pradesh, different blends of wool and pashmina, with enamelled buttons from Rajasthan.

Surprises came in the form of colourful pockets and buttons with Princess Pea peeking out from the most unexpected places. The silhouettes were relaxed and came in the form of sweaters, maxi skirts, jackets and dresses – all embellished with military details and a clear message; Peace for all!

If you’re wondering how they managed to get the hair to look like Pea, they’re actually plastic balls bought from the market and covered with hair to create the look.
