Kurta
2021
Commissioned by Chuck Kuan for Lucky Risograph.
This is a short cotton kurta that belonged to my grandfather. I think it's around 20 years old. It's very light and wrinkles beautifully if I haven't folded it properly. When I wear it, I usually hang it in the bathroom while I shower and let the steam relax the fibers. The translucent fabric has a grid of reinforced stitches running through it.
