Traditional Romanian Costume - Bucovina

We embarked on an interdisciplinary initiative to recreate traditional Romanian costumes in 3D.

With insight from La Blouse Roumaine, we hoped to highlight the power of blending traditional and digital art forms, preserving old folklore items in the digital medium.

This fusion of traditional and digital artistry was definitely an exciting experience!

This particular costume is from the region of Bucovina.

The research for the female costume from Bucovina was done by the La Blouse Roumaine team, Andreea Tănăsescu and Irina Apan.

Scientific consultant and community member: Paul Torac.

Embroidery consultant: Alina Goga.

The inspiration for this female character is Sofia Vicoveanca. To create this female traditional attire, the book Portul Popular de sărbătoare din România was consulted, plus image archives from Ethnographic Museum of Transylvania, Poveștile Iei, Arta Acului la Români, Paul Torac Ethnographic Collection.
