Fashion garments featuring tile patterns adorning the prang of Wat Arun have been designed by Napachon Acharai, a paper-cutting artist and owner of the page Porchorrorgallery. He creates paper-cutting artworks that blend fashion designs with various natural patterns. The inspiration for his paper-cutting works as fashion garments comes from the decorative tile patterns of the prang, the ubosot, and the Buddha’s footprint mondop at Wat Arun Rajwararam.Image: Fashion garments with tile patterns adorning the prang of Wat Arun.
