Local Fashion
and ethnic jewelry
and
Myanmar jewellery and more.
Ethnic jewelry is very
popular in the country, several shops at
Yangon's Bogyoke market have great ethnic
jewelry on display, fashion jewelry
is in the same direction.
There is also
pearl fashion jewelry from freshwater pearls
with amazingly low prices. Myanmar model
girls show newly created fashion at several
Burmese evening shows at nightclubs and
restaurants in the evening,
Materials
used are
cotton textiles,
Myanmar silk
and imported
Chinese
fabrics and textile material. If you want to
get an idea on the creative fashion show
visit one of them,
nightlife Myanmar fashion shows are mainly performed
in nightclubs or discos. You will see a lot
of creativity and if you like it just buy it on the spot,
it’s very low priced.
The material for modern fashion
sold in the big city or markets comes mainly
from China. In the remote areas fashion items are made locally as you can
see below.
Almost every ethnic group
of the Union
of Myanmar has a very particular Myanmar
fashion style, this
is not only in terms of the cloth, costumes etc.
but also of the accessories. A lot of fashion
creativity in Myanmar is hibernating just as the
bears do, chrrr. Almost all so called fashion
people in Myanmar just make some copies
|
|
of what they see
in some Thai soap operas and Chinese movies, all
this is category of average minus. Tribal fashion in
Burma is very
creative and unique, it beats the copyist by
a huge margin, just have a look below and you
will see what we mean. This is real native
tribal fashion with great natural materials,
excellent fabrics and uniquely patterns of the
cloth material. Very special fashion items are
the beautiful metal creations used as bangles at
the arms and leggings, all very colorful and
impressive.

A lot of creativity is out there.
Another part of Myanmar - Burmese fashion is thanakha,
thanakha is ground from the tree branch , sold as a
powder, mixed with a little water and applied on the
skin, thanakha protects the skin against the sun and has
some more positive sides to the skin.
Thanakha
is heavy used in Myanmar Burma, here it is visible
that there is also a "cosmetic life" with native
products beside of the chemical bombs the big cosmetic
companies are selling.
Also note the fashion
decoration of the girl in the upper picture, she just
put a flower over the ear and in the lower picture, the
girl on the left has a bunch of plants in the hair.
There is a lot of native fashion decoration done. One of
the very creative products is
jewelry as you can see at the picture at right and at
Myanmar jewelry. |

Tribal fashion & ethnic fashion
From time to time there is some movement in fashion. It’s coming when you realize the people are wearing different clothes. The trigger usually is that the people see something different at the Chinese and Thai soap operas they watch every day. The Chinese are very popular to get some ideas on different hair styles and the Thai stuff brings some more modern ideas.
The latest fashion trends in Myanmar always come from outside the country, regardless of the fact that the different ethic groups have hundreds of variations in their fashion and this are not only cloth, there is also some kind of ethnic fashion jewelry with great fashion jewelry with different rather cheap materials such as colored stones, some silver and mother pearls show how a broad imagination designers can have.

Myanmar has
some creative fashion designer showing newest
creations at fashion shows at
Yangon and
elsewhere. Nobody is designing stuff which looks
like coming from Vivienne Westwood, the most
opulent, luxurious, stylish and expensive
dresses are always visible at weddings.
Simple fashion walks can be seen every
night in various fashions shown at nightclubs
and discos.
Fashion punk
can be enjoyed by visiting the various tribes of
Myanmar, most of them have their very
distinctive fashion ideas and creations as you
see in the photos here.
Far-traveled
material from China, |
|
India and elsewhere with exotic
designs are available at the
cloth shops in the
Bogyoke
Market. Yangon has
the charm of a colonial village
but the flair of a Asian
metropolis and this is visible
every day expressed through
fashion. |

what

from Kachin State |
This 2 ladies show fashion from Kachin state.
A part of Kachin
state are the Myanmar Himalayas with south
east Asia highest peak Mt. Hkakabo Razi with
5881 m.
I haven't seen
winter fashion in Davos or Kitzbühl but I
think Myanmar winter fashion is for sure more
attractive.
At right an Chin
beauty with hand-woven fashion clothes and a
silver fashion belt plus plenty of jade chains
necklaces and headgear.
This is tribal
fashion which includes tribal tattoos at many
remote areas, its always amazing to see what a
creativity Myanmar people have considering the
circumstances the live in the remote areas. It
is necessary to keep in mind |
Myanmar girl |

that the country is
as big as France and England combined and has
about 130 ethnicities. |

Myanmar people are very
fashion conscious and creative.
Even the very remote tribes have
their own fashion styles with a
lot of ideas in it.
Some fashion gurus in Milan and
Paris could learn something
from them, because this is back
to basic, simple pure and
beautiful, not this stupid
decadent bla bla that they show
you on the fashion shows in
Europe and New York.

Myanmar Tribal Tattoo |
The material to make Myanmar
fashion clothing
is usually cotton, either
imported or locally created with
native pattern and designs. |
Myanmar silk
fabric
|
In the big cities
such as Mandalay and Yangon silk
clothing is worn on special
occasions.
Actually there
are no sophisticated cuts,
styles and patterns.
The silk fabrics
are more or less worn on the
body in a sarong style, this is
for men and women.
|
Silk |
To complement clothing ethnic fashion jewelry
is
used but not very often, this is
more bought by tourists, the
local people usually just wear a
gold or gold plated necklace,
sometimes with a pendant.
