Description
I'm a daily wearer of historical clothing and a Volga Tatar. I’m also a lifelong Buddhist. I show how these aspects can intersect, by focusing on experimental archaeology and glimpsing firsthand into what it may have been like for people historically, applied in a modern context. I also discuss historical fashion and hand sewing and how we can interact with fashion in a more compassionate, sustainable, and connected way.
For my own everyday clothing, I wear Ancient Greek, Viking, Medieval, Renaissance, Victorian, and other eras, as well as incorporating and reconstructing more of my Indigenous (Turkic) dress. All the garments I make for myself are 100% hand-stitched and are slow to construct! I feel working by hand is a wonderful way to connect with the process of sewing and to show the durability of hand-sewn garments.
It’s all about historical style not historical values here. This is a welcoming space for all genders, sexualities, ethnicities, and any other marginalised groups.
