Ethnostyle in Modern Clothes

Abstract

Georgian traditional clothing is an intangible monument of the material culture of the Georgian people, an expression of their identity, values and worldview. Georgian national clothing has gone through a difficult and long path of its formation. At different times, in the mountains, plains, and seaside of Georgia, traditional clothing was developed that was characteristic of different parts of Georgia, but had a single Georgian character, and that delights visitors with its originality, sophistication, and elegance. Since the second half of the 19^th century, examples of Georgian traditional clothing have become the property of museums and have earned a place of honor in collections. Today, there is great interest in the rich heritage of traditional clothing in the fashion industry and clothing design. A large place in the creativity of designers is given to collections inspired by traditional clothing. Creating a collection of national clothing from elements of traditional clothing poses a difficult task for designers and fashion designers. It is not surprising that the task of designers is to copy elements of national clothing and blindly transfer them to national clothing. The concept of the national collection was formed by studying the museum samples of traditional clothing, the Georgian national costume, its structural and compositional features, the structure of the fabrics used, the use of embroidery and the results of sociological research. In line with the concept of the collection, the ethnic-style evening wear collection consists of five models of women's evening dresses. The ethnic style is evident in the form, decor and decoration of the models, the harmonious combination of which enhances and enlivens the models, presenting them as representatives of the entire nation. The collection is interestingly accentuated by the shape of the clothes, while the imitation of the belt, gusset and belt gives it dynamism. After completing the sketch project, the designer and technology planning of the women's clothing collection were completed. The work done is of great importance in expanding the range of modern clothing, popularizing Georgian traditional clothing and passing on Georgian cultural traditions to future generations.
