Fashionable ethnic dresses. There are many types of ethnic clothing in the store, only some of the samples are shown in the photo. Characteristic features of the qipao cut.

This fashion emerged at a time when almost the entire world was going crazy for minis. A rather small part of the population reacted with indignation to this mass insanity and opposed short, constricting clothes to long and loose clothes that were more natural for the body. The hippie movement was international - it was joined by representatives different nationalities, each of which brought local flavor to it. The new direction was of keen interest to fashion designers; they appreciated its non-triviality and internal diversity. This is how the ethnic style of clothing appeared - a real find for those who want to be different from others.

Fashion direction

The great couturier Yves Saint Laurent was the first who decided to shock the public by placing the clothes of “wild” peoples on high podiums. He created collections in African, Peruvian, Chinese and Russian styles. Fashionistas were shocked by short cocktail dresses woven from scrap materials: wooden beads, flax fibers and dried palm leaves. And the screaming primitive colors and decorations made from animal fangs made them clutch their hearts. However, the most daring ladies immediately felt all the advantages of such a wardrobe. In order to attract attention, to emphasize your individuality, the best way you can't imagine.

The example of Yves Saint Laurent turned out to be contagious. Other fashion designers appreciated the promise of the direction he had discovered and decided to try their hand at it. Today, not a single Haute Couture Week is complete without new collections with ethnic motifs. Stylists “play” with numerous elements and details of various national clothes, constantly offering fresh, original solutions.

Floral motifs are actively used by fashion designers, as it always looks original.

Ethnic style is international. It incorporates the characteristic styles, prints, colors and decor of various peoples inhabiting our planet. Therefore, several national subspecies are distinguished within it:

• Greek
• Egyptian
• Indian
• African
• Japanese
• Chinese
• Slavic
• Indian
• Scottish
• Scandinavian

In addition, depending on climatic conditions, each of these styles received its own “specialization”. For example, Greek and Indian are widely used in creating summer sundresses and evening dresses. And Scandinavian has taken a strong place in the winter wardrobe.

All microstyles today are used not only in pure form– certain elements from them have spread widely throughout the fashion world and are no longer perceived as something out of the ordinary. A sweater with deer, a wrap dress or sandals with a fastening on one toe have become as commonplace as a sheath dress and a pullover. Nobody remembers their Norwegian, Japanese and Greek roots anymore. But at the same time, ethnic details are still able to add an interesting twist to any image, making it distinctive and original. For example, leopard print, borrowed from African style, successfully plays this role.

The characteristic element of the African direction is very popular among designers

Bright geometric prints are very relevant for the warm season

Ethnic clothing options

When thinking about creating an ethnic wardrobe, it is worth carefully studying the characteristic features of a particular microstyle to determine what you like best and what looks will suit you. All these trends coexist under the roof of ethnicity - and by choosing any of them, you will find yourself in the trend. In addition, today's fashion values ​​individuality and does not require adherence to the mainstream, that is, doing like everyone else. Having gone through waves of mass passion for Japanese, Indian and Scandinavian themes, fashion science now invites women not to “get hung up” on one thing, but to try different variants, don’t get tired of surprising others with new images, searching and finding yourself.

So, the features of ethno-microstyles:

• Sultry African. He was at the top of the list because he is now at the peak of popularity. It stands out with bright animalistic and geometric prints, as well as catchy decorative elements - tassels, ropes, and so on. Things “from Africa” are intended to be worn exclusively in the warm season, since they are sewn using light fabrics, and their styles are loose and flowy. But “animal” prints - zebra, snake and leopard - have confidently settled on demi-season and winter clothing. It is interesting that African exoticism suits almost any type of appearance - blondes, brunettes, and redheads, since its color range is extremely wide. Ideal for a seaside holiday and traveling to hot countries.

• Divine Greek. The complete opposite of the previous direction. No flashy prints or baggy styles. Ethnic dresses in greek style, like the columns in the Greek hall, are distinguished by beauty, grace and simplicity. Authentic option - White dress to the floor made of flowing fabric with drapery - today it has numerous fashionable variations(high waist, deep neckline, open shoulder etc.). Wearing such an outfit, any woman can feel like a goddess. Exactly any - because many flowing folds will hide imperfections and gently emphasize femininity. A great option for an evening out.

• Sophisticated Japanese. To emphasize the grace of the girl, the emphasis in Japanese clothing was on her thin neck and waist. Hence the special cut - V-neck, wide belt, loose sleeves, which is what we see in a kimono. Initially, only three colors were used - black, white and red. But over time, the color range has expanded. The characteristic print is sakura flowers. The kimono shape is widely used in modern dresses - mainly wrap models. Moreover, the length in them can be very different - up to mini - unlike classic version to the floor The fabrics chosen for sewing are usually soft, flowing and shiny. Initially, kimonos were made of silk.

Looks very good on fragile women.

• Elegant Chinese. Somewhat similar to the previous microstyle, probably because it is also designed for thin women vertically challenged with small breasts. A typical representative Chinese national clothes in women's wardrobe is narrow straight dress with a stand-up collar made of silk and other delicate fabrics. Local women often wear a cotton set of a long shirt with the same stand-up collar and straight pants. The most widely used colors in Chinese clothing are red, gold and white. Common prints include hieroglyphs, dragons and large beautiful flowers.

It is probably impossible to find a more conservative attitude to clothing than among the peoples of China.

True, this applies mainly to men's clothing, women's dress it was rarely regulated, mainly under the Manchu and Mongol dynasties.

Women's Chinese clothing.

Qipao or “jeongsan” is a traditional national Chinese dress.

A dress is a very special item of clothing, designed not only to add grace and elegance to a woman’s appearance, but also to create a unique, individual image its owner.

Among the variety of style solutions that fashion designers offer us today in incredible quantities, a Chinese-style dress has become that special classic that has unique charm mysterious East.

Is traditional clothes Manchus, known since the reign of the Qing dynasty. Nowadays qipao has become one of the most popular unofficial symbols China, national, casual and festive clothing of Chinese women.

(cheongsam, qipao) literally translates as “long dress”, it is the local dialect of the southern Chinese province of Canton. It was there that the West first became acquainted with qipao at the beginning of the 20th century. But in fact, cheongsam has been known since at least the 17th century, when the Manchu emperors established this style as the main standard of clothing for the entire Chinese population. in those distant times, they were worn by both women and men.

Characteristic features of the qipao cut.

National Chinese women's clothing qipao is an elongated robe dress. Its cut is characterized by a folded hem to the right, a small stand-up collar and two high, hip-length slits on the sides. The skirt is fastened with traditional Chinese knotted buttons.

Initially qipao It was characterized by a loose cut and long, wrist-length sleeves. The dress was considered the standard high culture China, it reflected all the fragility, femininity and grace Chinese women, united the historical past and future of the country.

From the history of qipao.

IN early XVII century in the Northern part of China, a very talented politician and simply brilliant military strategist, Aisinghioro Nurhaci, united the scattered Jurchen tribes into a strong “eight-banner” army, which, under his leadership, came to Beijing and overthrew the ruling Ming dynasty, giving birth to a new, Manchu Qing dynasty.

The Manchus, who represented the "eight banner" army in the most significant social strata, were called "banner people" or in Chinese - "qiren". And, according to the dynastic laws of the Qing Dynasty, after 1636, all Chinese (Han) who were part of the “eight-banner” system were required to wear qipao, that is, dressing in traditional Manchu costume, instead of national Chinese clothing. In case of violation of this law, the culprit faced execution.

At that time it looked like a loose straight dress with a shirt cut, even somewhat reminiscent of a spacious quilted robe.

Over time, cheongsam ( qipao) have changed somewhat, and their cut has acquired a more familiar shape to us. The dresses were made from the highest quality silk, perfectly following the lines of the body, but only the hands, toes of shoes and the head remained open. The neck was covered with a high stand-up collar. This cut matched Chinese culture and the basic principles of its harmony.

Gradually Manchurian everyday dress replaced traditional Chinese forms women's clothing and has become a recognized symbol of Chinese culture.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Xinhai Democratic Revolution took place in China, as a result of which the monarchical system was destroyed, which accordingly made significant changes in ideology, morality and culture. Of course, changes affected both the shape and style of clothing. Struck by strict monarchical morality, Chinese women broke free, quickly “Europeanized,” and revolutionized Chinese fashion.

Of course, no one even thought of giving up qipao, but its cut was significantly updated. Disappeared long sleeves, the thin fabric began to fit tightly female figure, emphasizing all her graceful curves. And, despite all the sanctimonious attacks of the old conservatives, the dress continued to live, remaining the favorite clothing of Chinese women.

However, during the troubled years of the “cultural revolution”, the communists considered qipao a relic of the feudal-bourgeois past of the PRC, and for half a century this marvelous dress lost its exclusive role in women's clothing.

The period from the 20s to the end of the 40s of the last century gave qipao a chance for a new blossom. Europeans saw the dress. And it was then that the dress returned to the wardrobe of Chinese women and began its confident ascent to the catwalks of world fashion.

IN last decades qipao never leaves the collections of the most famous fashion designers in the world. It has become an inexhaustible source of inspiration for all fashion luminaries. What has won qipao the hearts of fashionistas all over the world? Of course, with its captivating, unique femininity, exotic flavor of the mysterious, incomprehensible East. A simple and at the same time refined strict silhouette made qipao a stylish asset of high fashion. The dress is extremely popular among Hollywood stars, show business representatives, socialites and simply among modern, fashionable women.

If we talk about Chinese women themselves, most of them currently give preference in everyday life to European style. However, during special moments, such as weddings, high society receptions, diplomatic receptions, National holidays, Chinese women proudly wear national Chinese dresses qipao. It is impossible not to note that they look simply amazing in them, very elegant, graceful and feminine.

A little about ethnic clothing.

Ethnic clothing or National clothes is an indispensable attribute of any society. Having gone through centuries of experiments, each people chose the most comfortable type of clothing for themselves, depending on the climate, occupation, available materials, craft culture and others. natural factors. Later, with the development of society, clothes began to be made not only for protection from climatic troubles, but also as an object of aesthetics, adding elements decorative creativity, where each nation emphasized its identity and individuality. Modern fashion designers, instead of reinventing the wheel, they have long been using ethnic clothes in their creative fantasies, constantly studying and detailing the entire anthology of national clothing different nations, using it in their new collections stylized suit.

Ethnic clothing will always emphasize your individuality and attractiveness, while introducing the subtle charm of a unique aesthetic taste. You will find few things in stores that can so subtly express your originality and charm, without the colossal expenditure of labor or money, as ethnic style clothing. Currently ethnic wear also moved on and took a worthy step in the category youth clothing. Ethnic style clothing will always be one of the most wearable items in your wardrobe, both men's and women's, especially in combination with ethnic jewelry .

Currently ethnic wear, for example in Moscow, is used not only for wearing on the street or at home. It is a mandatory subject for practicing some eastern practices ( yoga, tai chi, reiki etc.), and, naturally, is used for training in many styles of martial arts. Also ethnic wear, V in this case Chinese and Japanese, decorates the ceremony of drinking tea and preparing and serving sushi.

Professional tailoring of any ethnic clothing.

Custom made ethnic clothing- more details.

If you want to buy in Moscow ethnic clothes or ethnic style clothes, at the same time supplement it ethnic jewelry, or buy costume for belly dance (oriental dance), or just visit ethnic store in Moscow, then in the contacts section the detailed address of the store, map and how to get there are indicated. Microdistrict "Mitino" is the first multi-storey building at the exit from the Moscow Ring Road or 300m from the Volokolamskaya metro station.

The history of ethnic style is rooted in the history of every single nationality on the planet. If we talk directly about ethnic clothing, then your big way she started on fashion catwalks after showing a collection in oriental style in 1911 by fashion designer Paul Poiret, inspired by the ballet “Scheherazade” staged by M. Fokine. However, in the life of ordinary people there is a trend of borrowing elements traditional costume(and often the entire costume) among different nationalities entered a little later, in the 60s. Freedom-loving hippies contributed to this. It was they who, in their desire to reject the accepted principles of society, brought back to life the then unfashionable floor-length skirts, tunics, loose-fitting trousers, etc., not to mention numerous accessories. This trend was then picked up fashion houses and one of the first was the legendary Yves Saint Laurent, whose shows first shocked critics and then found their recognition.

Wide use

Ethnic wear is not limited to any one preference. The traditions of all countries from East to West, from India to the American Indians are woven into it. On the red carpet you can always see dresses in the Greek style, and winter in all countries where it snows is associated with Scandinavian sweaters with knitted deer and snowflakes. Ethnics have firmly entered our lives, although we don’t even notice it. Many ethnic shops are opening, and this style is incredibly popular in the interior. It is characterized by the following elements:

1. natural materials (wood, stone);
2. ritual masks, figurines of deities and other decorative elements;
3. ceramic tableware;
4. ethnic musical instruments.

Fabric designs play an important role in both ethnic clothing and interior design. These can be either the usual paisley or more exotic African patterns or Uzbek prints.

How to be in trend?

The basis of ethnic clothing style is harmony with yourself and the world around you. Therefore, natural comfortable fabrics and styles that do not restrict movement are used. Clothing is decorated with embroidery, appliqué and other decorative elements. Accessories are also made from natural materials: wood, thread, shells, bones. Nowadays, many similar products are sold in online stores, where you can also find suitable shoes and bags that will complement your look.

Today, ethnic music is experiencing another peak in popularity. Boho style is especially trendy. This is a somewhat romanticized ethno, or more precisely, a bohemian style plus ethno. However, the principles are the same:

• practical style;
• loose fit;
• bright color palette;
• wide range of decorative elements.

Fortunately, today, if you want to diversify your wardrobe, everything can be easily purchased at an ethnic store. But even if you rummage through your grandmother’s chest or on the mezzanine, you will be able to find a lot of interesting things - fabrics, clothes, jewelry. Don't be afraid to use it! Ethno is exotic, self-expression, naturalness and originality. That is why this style is especially popular among creative personalities and free-spirited people. Just don’t forget that moderation is good in everything and it’s important not only to express yourself, but also to be appropriate in the given circumstances. Therefore, no matter how comfortable and beautiful an Indian sari is, on a Caucasian girl in the center of Moscow it will look at least strange.

WITH folklore motifs We have been dating almost since the cradle. Grandmothers' songs, mother's tales, ditties, jokes and even jokes. However, only as we mature do we realize the value of this knowledge. Fashion never stands aside folk motifs. Despite her capriciousness, and sometimes even pretentiousness, she “squeaks” loudly when it comes to ethnic roots.

The birth of style

Despite the fact that it is deeply “folk”, in the history of fashion its legislators are considered to be the hippie movement, which arose in the 60s of the 20th century. Followers of this trend dressed under the motto: “As natural and comfortable as possible.” Loose fit natural fabrics natural shades, various kinds of embroidery, fringe and even fur trim - these are the main features of this style.

However, not all so simple. In any art, historical aspects play almost main role. After all, in fact, we owe the origin of ethnic trends to travel and the discovery of new lands, various conquests, invasions and enslavements that led humanity to a certain symbiosis.

Distinctive features

The ethno style in clothing has come to us in a modified aspect. Modern fashion designers actively use elements of folk costumes different countries. After all, cocktail dresses in the style of , a classic suit in the style of a Japanese kimono or autumn bright ponchos in the image of Mexican traditions are perfect in their simplicity! It definitely becomes clear that one of the distinctive features of this style is volume. Light, flowing fabrics seem to envelop, trying to protect and make a woman more fragile. To emphasize this look, only natural fabrics are suitable. But the color scheme has changed today. These are no longer faded colors, but bright, rich shades with ethnic patterns and unimaginable color combinations.

Mysteries of the peoples of the world
