Belarusian Traditional Clothing elements in the contemporary costume of belarusians. The traditional ethnic clothingis still being a source of the inspiration for Belarusian designer clothing http://www.belarusguide.com/culture1/clothing/
Extractions: Clothing Clothing is an important ethnic feature of the nation. The origins of Belarusian clothing tradition lie in the ancient Kiewan Rus'. The moderate continental climate, long winter and mild summer required a closed, warm clothing. Fabrics The clothing of "mahnat"(big landlords) and city aristocracy was developing within the Western European tradition. It was made out of expensive fabrics, decorated with golden and silver embroidery, precious stones, colored buttons. The important composites of male dress were satin "z^upan"(a dressing gown) with "kuntus^"(coat, caftan?) on top of it, a long belt, wolf or beaver fur. The female clothes included "fereziia", "hazuka", "c^amara"(different types of blouse), decorated on the sides with ornaments or the fur of sobol, marten or fox. The aristocratic clothing has started to simplify at the end of XVIII c. Here you can see an example of the aristocratic clothing reconstruction as it was in XVI-XVII cc demonstrated in the court of Radzivil's Castle in Niasvizh The folk dress was influencing the costume of aristocracy and was influenced itself by an aristocratic clothing. The belarusian costume of XVI-XVI c was enriched with new elements like "andarak" (a type of coat), "harset" (a type of top blouse) and with new principles of wearing - the technics of tieing. The siluet became tighter to figure and was more reflecting Renaissance attitude to the world. The tendencies in costume at this time were general strictness, majority of white color in some elements, traditional combination of white and red colors, geometrical ornaments - in accordance with the eastern-slavic tradition of clothing.

Extractions: Chapter 5: Balkan Folk Costume While traditional folk costume clearly differs from contemporary dress, we can glimpse Balkan folk costume on traditional occasions such as weddings, national, ethnic or religious holidays, and folklore performances. Because many original costumes are heirlooms, they have become increasingly rare, although craftsmen and traditional Balkan artisans continue to make folk costumes. While contemporary Western clothing is the norm throughout the Balkans, elders may include one piece of traditional garbsuch as a skirt or scarfas part of their everyday wear.

Traditional folk costume has similar components all over the Balkans. [vii] Yet costume choices impact the wearers movements and dance style, sometimes dramatically. For often womens costumes are heavy, bulky and noisy; because of this, their movements are often not so exuberant and expansive as the mens.

Extractions: The Hammond Museum wishes to thank the Consulate General of the People's Republic of China, particularly Mr. Yan Shixun and Ms. Pu Jubao, for their generosity in lending the costumes that make up the core of the exhibit. The additional loan of items from Theresa Reilly and Glenn Roberts collections gives historical perspective to the wealth of techniques used by the Manchu and Bai nationalities. We would also like to thank Amy Zhang, Robin Bolton, Kitty Truscott for their help. Some people might argue that clothing is one of the fundamental elements in a person's life since its prime function is to protect the body against the elements of nature. Although clothing and accessories often relate to environment, the cultural, social, religious aspects, and age of a person all have important roles. In modern times, clothing has sometimes been regarded as an art form as well as a source of identification for ethnic groups. Within China's fifty-five minority nationalities we have a palette of color, a range of clothing and jewelry techniques, and an array of symbolism. This exhibition at the Hammond Museum represents a small but distinctive portion of this diversity. In the remote region of Dali it is still possible to view the Bai peoples' partially for white clothing, their flowered baby carriers and the distinctions between an unmarried woman's headdress with its swinging white tassel and false braid versus the married woman's lack of a braid with a semi-transparent covering over her headdress.

Extractions: Mountain People Northern Thailand is something of a geopolitical melting pot. Wedged between the former colonial empires of the British in Burma, the French in Indochina and the great historic empire of China, there has been a tendency for the diverse ethnic groups of Southeast Asia to migrate here. National boundaries have had little effect on this movement of peoples. The Thais themselves migrated to this rich and fertile land under pressure from the powerful Chinese Empire some 1200 years ago. Buddhist Thai society has always been tolerant of other ethnic groups, and has provided a safe haven for all. Most of the groups have migrated from southern China and eastern Tibet, although the Karen have origins further west. Despite centuries of persecution, there has been little tendency for the tribes to lose their identity and separateness. It remains to be seen if they can continue to maintain their cultural independence in the face of the pressures to adapt to a modern, market-based economy. Judging from the past, we can say that their cultures display an extraordinary reilience. The changes they are undergoing are remarkable. From a subsistence/barter system to one based on the production of cash crops and the use of money to buy requisites is a dramatic change. It is happening now, and for most tribes, the signs are good. If the tourist expects to see primitive people with no sophistication, he will be disappointed. Hilltribe societies have always been complex and sophisticated. The sight of T-shirts, Coca-Cola, motor bikes, TVs and pick-up trucks are commonplace, and in no way invalidate the authenticity of the culture.

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.
