"My name is Black"

View On Black

 

This unisex outfit is actually the sister outfit of one on which Xiamara is working at the moment. I should probably be saying "brother outfit" though, considering that this has actually been designed by Grapho, our in-house dark/texture specialist.

 

These two outfits are both inspired by the novel "My name is Red" by Turkish Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk. The book describes the events surrounding a murder amongst illuminator/calligraphers in 16th century Istanbul. And so, Ottoman ornamentation is the underlying design system for both this one as well as Xia's, which will in fact be called "My name is Red" in tribute to Orhan Pamuk, and will be released within a few days. (Hopefully!)

 

Oh and, not to forget, Grapho has lightened up the regal nature of the pennants and the Ottoman boots which go with the outfit, with a custom textured pogo stick with which you can become a hopping Sultan or Sultana!
