A student from the NIFT-TEA College of Knitwear Fashion, Tiruppur, has designed a ‘wearable art’ to spread awareness on COVID-19.
G. Sowmy Karthika, a second year student of the Department of Apparel Fashion Design, said that her design intended to depict the dangerous nature of novel coronavirus.
The design was inspired by pufferfish or porcupinefish, which contains a neurotoxin that is 1,200 times more potent than cyanide, and the fruit of castor oil plant (Ricinus communis), which is spiny and contains poisonous seeds, she said.
