The art of presenting embroidered clothing in Ukraine

[sofiya]

In May 2016, Ukraine had an international festival of traditional cultures called “Ethnoworld”. One of the items presented at that event was a collection of vintage embroidered women’s shirts. The pieces themselves were extraordinary but the presentation was even more striking.
The artists took real embroidered shirts, made stylized silhouettes (from carton and fabric) of women, and “dressed” them in those shirts. It looks fabulously.

Here are few photos. More photos you can find here: http://nationalclothing.org/15-national ... hotos.html

Very nice way to make a show of folk dress. It's kind of weird but Impressive
