As I was searching materials for the previous blog post of the D&G, I accidentally came across to a picture of the Kenzo 2011 collection, and I decided to make a post about it.
My first remark was that it was inspired by the Gypsy scarves, and my second thought was that some of the pieces resemble to a maybe not very well known folk costume, namely the Palóc folk costume.
I don't really think that this inspiration was intentional, I couldn't find any information about it, but it's interesting to find out that the traditional costumes may have been altered into a modern form, and it's worn by people without any knowledge of another possible interpretation of the outfit.
The name of the costume defines the name of the area, Palóc, which is in Hungary, and it's known by its traditions, costumes, and of course scarves.
Here it is the picture, I think has some very strong resemblances with the outfit of Kenzo.
The similarity between the two dresses are the puffed sleeve blouse, the long skirt and the belt, which is almost the same in these two pieces.
