Extractions: Ethnographic Museum, Belgrade. In the wide variety of costumes, apart from the special traits of costumes which varied from village to village, there were also other differences between villagers and urban dwellers in terms of the way they dressed. Urban clothing in most of the Serbian ethnic territories developed under Turkish and oriental influences. Later, as in Pannonia and along the Adriatic, that influence was largely European. Urban costumes in the Balkan-Oriental style, made of expensive cloths and bearing gold and silver embroidery, were of high artisan craftsmanship. Up to the twentieth century, on the other hand, peasant dress was mostly the product of home and other village handwork. They were fashioned by women, though certain parts of the costumes were done by village artisans. Experience and tradition were passed from elder to younger, from generation to generation. The very first glance at the diversity of village dress reveals certain specificities in the combination of the functional, artistic and aesthetic characteristics of the clothes worn in an entire region. Identical or similar economic circumstances, brought on by the geographical setting, by historical, social and cultural development, all influenced the generation of certain elements of clothing in the framework of larger cultural and geographic regions, such as those in the Dinaric, Adriatic, central Balkan and Pannonian regions. In each region a basic type of dress is characteristic, appearing in many different costuming and decorative forms. The differences originated in the variety of materials for making and decorating which the particular region offered, the pattern-forms and decorative means, and the costuming tradition and level of cultural development.

Extractions: In the village of Kutch, the women looked beautiful in their fabulous Abhas as they swayed to the music. The twinkling lights played mischievously over the gold and thread embroidery while the sequins and badla work sparkled continuously. A woman in an abha, the traditional costume of the Khatri, Memon and Korja Muslim communities of Kutch is a sight to behold. This garment from Kutch, a district in Gujarat, has a history that is as colourful and exciting as the garment. In ancient times the women wore the abha embellished with beautiful tie-dye designs, zari thread embroidery that was very minute and intricate embroidery in coloured silk or cotton thread in a combination of a variety of stitches, integrating minuscule mirror discs into its elaborate and distinct pattern.
Buryat Traditional Costume Central Asian and Siberian tradition of ethnic costume and it is In some costumesthe colors of the bands may vary, but it is a distinctive Buryat design. http://www.buryatmongol.com/huvtsas.html
Extractions: This page is a picture essay on traditional Buryat clothing. Buryat clothing reflects a greater Central Asian and Siberian tradition of ethnic costume and it is no coincidence that it resembles Mongol, Manchu, Tuvan, Altai, Tungus, and Yakut traditional dress. Buryat clothing most closely resembles Mongolian traditional dress, which is no surprise since the Buryats are a Mongolian people. Mongolian dress consists of a long robe, known as a deel , which is worn over trousers. The Buryat word for this robe is digil , which is the ancient Mongolian word for this item of clothing. The digil is perfectly adapted to the Siberian and Mongolian climates, which has below freezing temperatures at least at night for all seasons but the summer. It is also well adapted for riding horses, which is the reason why it was traditionally worn with trousers by both sexes. In order to further conserve warmth in cold weather, the digil fastens at the right shoulder so that there is a double thickness of cloth (and fur in the winter digil covering the vital organs of the chest and belly.

Extractions: WHERE HAVE ALL THE TUTUS gone?" ask may publisher last issue. Sure enough, we looked around, and there were very few floaty, Romantic tutus in view and even fewer short, stiff, classical ones. Even those were often stylized, like the Jetson-esque disks that costume Forsythe's ballet In the middle, somewhat elevated or Mark Morris's new ballet for ABT, Gong. One recent review described "pouf tutus" as a new style. Dance, style, and audiences change, and designers still want to make their creative mark. But for costumers, form still must follow function; the dancer must be able to perform the choreography, and safely, in whatever fabric and design are presented. Costumes help define character and establish setting. PureMovement's Rome and Jewels may not have an onstage ingenue, but there's no doubt that it's an in-your-face street version in combat boots that takes place at a very different time and place than Shakespeare's portrait of an Italian city state or New York City's 1950s West Side.

Extractions: Home Guestbook About Us Sitemap ... Fashion From Rustic To Vogue Wei Ronghui's Development of Chinese National Costume All cultures possess things which identify them as special, speak of their history and their historical way of life. Wei Ronghui is Huia Chinese minority. She is director of the China Museum of Ethnicities and the Center of National Costume Design. Perhaps most importantly, she herself is also a famous designer of national dress. G rowing up among the mountains and clear waters of Guizhou, Wei Ronghui knows the influence that lifestyle has on national dress. Before beginning a new costume, she always goes to the place where the minority in question resides, in order to research their lifestyle and habits. There are 56 different nationalities in China and Wei's footprints can be found in the mountains and villages where many of the minorities reside. She has worked in the fields with local women and sewed with them, absorbing their traditional culture, before communicating that culture through her designs. Her designs include a wonderful assortment of colors, patterns and fabric; they build on the traditional, while being inspired and creative. Using fabrics of the Buyi, she designed suits for students. She took the pattern used on the straps for carrying babies in the south and used it on the qipao worn in the north. She used long gowns to express the secret beauty of Tibetan women and casual, white cow-herding clothes to convey the energy of young Tibetan men. Her large use of the color white was in keeping with Tibetan's large use of this color.
