Traditional clothing
Trachtenmode is fashionable clothing that uses the various forms of traditional costume in its cuts , materials, fabric samples and accessories without wanting to be traditional costume itself. Trachten fashion is based on current fashion trends and modern everyday clothing.
According to the scientific definition, traditional costume fashion is “the utilization of folk costume elements for the needs of fashion. Utilization in a twofold sense: Adaptation of the elements mentioned for practical and usually also aesthetic use, but also utilization in the sense of economic, industrial and financial exploitation and marketing of the fashionably adapted traditional clothing. " their short-term or seasonal character; Occasionally, traditional costume creations can also prevail over the long term (e.g. clothing made from hunter's linen ).
The term country house fashion or country house style denotes similar developments and can basically be used synonymously with "traditional costume fashion", whereby the country house style only uses the direct model of traditional costumes in a few approaches and develops its own design language with the set pieces. Therefore, country house fashion can also be understood as a much broader term, since traditional costume fashion shows a more or less pronounced similarity to traditional costume.
The established research on traditional costumes in folklore , which focuses on the maintenance and renewal of traditional costumes, takes a critical look at traditional costume fashion and sees it mainly under the aspect of the commercialization of folk traditions and as a partial phenomenon of folklorism . In many cases country house fashion is understood and worn as a kind of costume for certain occasions.
