A10 – SHIRTS FROM MARAMUREȘ

Everything you need to understand right away. We explore a little to discover the spirit of the place and get to know the extended family of which these masterpieces are a part. We rummaged so deep in museum deposits, in villages and fairs, that we managed to find things that are not even in books.

I’ll explain it to you together with Alina and Gabriela, as I also learned, in stages. So:

Surely you have seen the shirts with angel-wing sleeves, ruffled shoulders and square necklines. They seem simple to make, and they do become, after you follow the course and understand the purpose of each piece of fabric. They have little embroidery but make up for it with interesting gathers. They are evolved shirts and amazing in the way they transform useful solutions into aesthetic forms.
