Description

Inspired by personal experiences of attending several funerals and the burial garments worn on the deceased, “Knotted Time” has two meanings: the knots used for the opening of burial garments, and freezing the last moment of the deceased.

“Knotted Time” captures the symbolic features of the burial garments of Eastern and Western countries by applying them on fashion items. The biodegradable and natural garments are loose-cut with numerous straps along with the opening for easily dressing the deceased and preventing damage to their body.

To make fashionable garments for those who are alive as well as those who have passed away, a range of silhouettes and detachable panels are designed to fit all bodies according to needs and preferences.
