Interference of traditional moldavian suit with the contemporary women’s suit

Abstract

Presently the traditional clothing attracts the attention of various specialists: historians, ethnographers, painters, designers etc. The complexity of studying this important element of spiritual culture consists in the diversity of appearances reflected in the traditional suit.

The traditional Moldavian clothing is a sculptural one, it is a simple and clear composition, its cutting underlines the body shape without any artificial inclusions. It is the only suit worn exactly in the same composition both at work and during holidays, being actual for all ages, as its shape and structure are adequate for all ages. The object of study were the blouse and the skirt (catrinta) for women.

The results of performed study may be useful for the contemporary designers in the actual circumstances where the globalization and the consumption criteria result in the dilution of the way the objects of primary importance interact with people at the existential level.
