Knowledge Folkwear Society

Folkwear Society By Ciprian Badalan On Dribbble Overall, few studies have in fact been carried out that thoroughly documented and preserved folk wear around the different ethnographic zones of romania. we hunted for every book we could get out hands on to better understand the history behind these beautiful artefacts. Since the 1970s, folkwear patterns have been used by individuals who want to connect with their culture, as well as film, theatre and dance costumers, historic reenactors, art to wear aficionados, and anyone who enjoys sewing and dressing in classic clothes.

Folkwear society is a global platform that reignites the curiosity of exploring into the visual and material folk cultures by salvaging and preserving original folk clothing and by embedding these full of life artefacts into their own forgotten history, as well as into our contemporary story.

This is the most iconic item of the romanian folkwear, renowned for its subtlety and finesse and for the graceful distribution of embroidery on the crisp white blouse. For a starter we set on exploring three main ethnographic zones in romania — mărginimea sibiului of southern transylvania, gorj of oltenia and muscel and arges of northern muntenia. Peasants have continued to hand make and wear original folkwear that has been passed on to them from generation to generation until the second half of the 20th century and as a result, there are still so many folk garments to be discovered and preserved. Raw materials were used at all times. the fabrics were either made from vegetable fibers, from the stalks of hemp (cânepă), flax (linen — in), the seeds of cotton (bumbac), from animal fibers: wool (lână) or natural protein fibers: silk (borangic). This is where the process of interweaving the yarn takes place. there are two type across the country: the horizontal one (the foot treadle, most common) and the vertical loom (more rare, used in the making of larger sized carpets called “scoarțe” rather than folkwear).
