The primary function of a Queen bee is to serve as the reproducer. She is one of the oldest and most popular aspects of the Divine Feminine, which symbolises work and obedience. This beehive structured garment is made with the left over cutouts from ‘Begum’. The play of triangular negative shapes balancing each other in a repetitive beehive pattern is the celebrated trait of this ensemble. Extracted from the same skin but look completely different. - Bushra Waqas Khan
