An interesting element about this project is that Indian culture overlays cultural elements already present in the Disney storylines. For instance, Pocahontas’ dress displays a combination of Indian and Native American-inspired designs, and Mulan’s attire draws from Asian patterns and Indian embroidery. The photographer says that Disney princesses were a common theme among many Indian brides he worked with, and he intended for the series, originally published in South Asian Bride Magazine, to highlight “how mainstream Disney can migrate into other ethnicities.”
