Oans, Zwoa... Oktoberfest!

Bavaria - a state in the south of Germany. It's the place where you can find all the stereotypical German things that you won't find in the rest of the country: the traditional leathershorts, postcard-looking mountains, the Oktoberfest and even the silly thigh-slapping folk dance as seen in that one Chevy Chase movie. 

In Bavaria there are five seasons: Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn and the Wiesn. The Wiesn is the best of those. Everybody is drunk and happy during the Wiesn, also known as, already mentioned, Oktoberfest. Aaaaa, Munich is located in Bavaria! xoxoxo

Urban Dirndl

D'URBAN DIRNDL by Eveline Stoesser

Based in Berlin, amazing idea for Oktoberfest, D'URBAN DIRNDL is a timeless investment, destined to become a forever piece in our wardrobe. And because I never pretend to wearing Tracht - the perfect choice! Das Dirndl is a classic and like any classic should be reinvented at time to time. Eveline Stoesser does it like no one else with her universal combination of urban and tradition. It's probably first Bavarian dress made of African wax print. So Berlin! Take a look at this amazing colors and patterns! 

TIYE - you would be mine! 

P.S. Originally, the wax resist dyed fabrics came from Indonesia which were then exported to the Gold Coast and spread over West Africa into Central Africa. They became extremely popular and over time the Africans customised and personalised the designs. Nowadays they are primarily made in Ghana and have strong cultural, social and economic importance.

Folk and the City

 I can't forget what my Bavarian friend told me once: "Do I come and  wear your traditional costume? No. So I expect the same from you. Please, don't do it. It's ridiculous." 

 I don't want to pretend to wearing Tracht but I couldn't resist a Country Estate Style, so I tried to do it, with a bit of irony, an Italian way. I decided to wear Moschino, which became famous for innovative, colorful, sometimes eccentric designs. In fact, Franco Moschino was highly critical of the whole fashion industry system. He didn't took his position too seriously. 

 P.S. Tracht is a traditional national costume in German-speaking countries. Tracht of southern Germans and Austria has inspired an entirely new fashion style characterized by the use of linen, loden and embroidery.
