"My name is Red"

This one took a long time coming. It is the sister outfit of one called "My name is Black" which Grapho made quite some time ago. It is a challenge when you base a garment on as spectacular a book as "My name is Red" by Orhan Pamuk is. The story evolves around a murder mystery involving a group of calligraphers in 16th century Istanbul. And so, Xia based the garment on Ottoman ornamentations and (predictably enough) the color red.

 

This is unisex and has a huge turban (well, sort of ;-) festooned with pennants, harem boots, arm and leg attachments and male and female belts.
