N.I.B. / NATIVITY IN BLACK by Karoonnisa Pogate
N.I.B. nativity in black
before the Thai Srongdhum huntsman went into the wood to gather food, his lover, a Thai Srongdhum women, gave him a watermelon stripe sarong as a reminder of herself, and when the man ventured deep through the wilderness, he met the ghost of Saming, a shape shifter tiger. The tiger consumed him and he too, became a tiger ghost, forever, unable to return to his lover. Inspired by the tale, the collection reanimate the story by using the old Thai Srongdum huntsman costume, blending it with taxidermy leather and fur to remind of the flesh that remains, then with silk knitting technique, showing the various symbols of Thai Srongdhum on the sarong, and with the last touch, a ragged jeans, to complete the raw look and give a little more scent of high street wears.
