Gordafarid
Gordafarid is a garment created from reused Persian carpets. Damaged and unusable handwoven carpets form the torso and keep their original structure. The pants are made of linen with the draping technique, inspired by the clothing of Iranian tribes. A headband joins Iranian geometry with the origami technique. A shawl made of metal spring wires and fabric can be given different forms on the body. Variable straps allow changes in size and function. The carpet part can also be hung on a wall or placed on a floor.
