title Ātman category fashion design and textile by palash singh from india

designer's own words:

just like ito jakuchu's paintings were exposition of the inner
conscience (shinki or atman).
just like rain water makes our clothes transparent instead of adding
another layer over it.
similarly instead of concealing human body this garment metaphorically
reveals the inner beauty (conscience, shinki or atman) of human.

the whole garment is made by joining units together made by laser-cutting
transparent recyclable plastic. each unit consists of slits
and protrusion with which they can be joined into each other.
the same unit twists, turns, tessellates and joins endlessly to form
the garment. the entire fitting of the garment on human form has been
done by sole geometry without any external joinery or finishing.
