Yet in most of the religions in the word death is taught to be a step forward into the circle of life; either a step to a new form of life or a step to live a life closer to the creator of life itself. The Women's Wear Autumn-Winter 2010 Collection of House of Attuendo tries to understand the "emotion of the dead"! Would there be sorrow and grief to part from the family and friends made during the life lived or would there be happiness of becoming free from the worldly chores and heading to the home of the GOD.

Cuffs and waistbands as wide as our love for her, chains as entangled as her emotions act as restraints. There are volumes:of organza provided by the almighty to enable her to fly and break those barriers to reach "thy father" and reach the eternity. The volumes are stiff so as to allow her not get deterred by her thoughts and yet flexible to allow her to pass on her emotions.
