Body Count

This cropped jacket directly references the famadihana ritual of Madagascar, with sleeves constructed to resemble the wrapped bodies ceremonially carried through town. Rather than abstracting the influence, the piece makes the form unmistakable—transforming the human figure into structure, weight, and volume within the garment itself. By relocating a funerary ritual into fashion, the jacket confronts ideas of reverence, discomfort, and physical intimacy with the dead, treating clothing as a site where memory, ritual, and the body are literally carried forward.
