The Kaftan: Ethno-Futuristic Cult(Ure) Of The Meta-Tribes

Thanks! You will :)

Dear Tree Spirit, I understand your effort to protect your cultural heritage, and I respect it. But I would like to make an explanation to clear your prejudgement. "The Kaftan" here is not a name of a brand. It is the name of the project. There is nothing wrong since "kaftan" is a term for a specific cloth type, like trenchcoat or jeans. I am from Turkey, and the Ottoman culture also has its kaftan. You can google it too. So I am doing a futuristic revision to my own culture here. Kaftan doesn't just belong to Moroccans. So this is not the case of "western guy stealing eastern values irresponsibly" as it looks like this is your preconception. Also, the sewing patterns of those clothes are modified from a real kaftan form. Just chill :)

Imagine it to wear like a pancho. In real life circumstances, you maybe wearing that on top of some clothes.

Hello. I now realized that the explanation above is not sufficient. Those looks (make-up + garment + atmosphere) are for your Avatar in a Metaverse environment. They are not specifically designed for the everyday comfort of physical life, since you are not limited with such things in digital environments. This is a futuristic vision. An ethno-futuristic vision. So you may observe them also as an art-form, next to being a functional design. But I want to add that, they are Kaftans, so their sewing pattern is pretty simple. They can also be produced in real life. And I am very sure they are very comfy, not disturbing at all. But may not be appropriate in daily city life. Best use in Burning Man :)
