Wait huh i just saw someone say that fruitful october was actually slavic-inspired and i wanted to say "idk i'm not really seeing it" but now that i'm looking at the cards again

Well okay. I'm assuming this went over my head bc i only saw Yuta's card bloomed when the banner was going and the clothes are kinda hidden. The fact that they gave them elements more present in women's folk clothes is definitely a vibe, though, good for them

Now if you'll excuse me I have an Adonis card to level and unlock idol road for

I was cooking this concept for an outfit (for no occasion whatsoever) for like 4 days? The crow embroidery took the most time to come up with. The whole outfit was mostly inspired by traditional costume from the Łowicz region.

Braids & Ribbons🎀

In most Slavic cultures, it was a tradition for unmarried girls to have their hair in braids, and in some cultures, tied with a ribbon too.

Once a girl got married, she would have to tuck and hide her hair in a headdress, headscarf or cap/bonnet. (I will talk more about this in my next posts❤️)

In many cultures, as part of the marriage ceremony, girls would have their hair braided into two parts, then put into a crown hairstyle as shown above, before finally having their hair covered during or after the ceremony.

Braids and ribbons can symbolise a young girl's beauty and freedom❤️

In many areas, ribbons are worn on the tail of the braids as shown above, at the top from the Łowicz region, Poland🇵🇱 & from the Brest (Брест) region, Пружаны, Belarus🇧🇾❤️

An embellished ribbon from Očová, Slovakia🇸🇰❤️

Jagna's crown in The Peasants (2023)

To begin with, I really liked this film in many, many aspects, so this is by no means hate on it.

Buuut if there's one tiny thing that they could've done better... is to double down on the folk stuff. What I mainly mean is Jagna's crown. It's like a nod towards tradition but... Her dress is very city-like imo, white, embroidered with what seems sparkly (meaning expensive) threads. Meanwhile, the crown is small and made of lace, peacock feathers, blueberries??, plants I don't recognise. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty and huge respect to the maker. In the og book, regarding the crown, we read: "Her hair, braided over her forehead, bore above it a rich pile of gold spangles, and peacock’s eyes, and sprigs of rosemary. Therefrom, down to her nape and shoulders, fell long ribbons of every hue;" (translation by Michael Dziewicki). It was also described as tall but I guess it was lost in translation.

Well, just compare this:

to these:

These are from Łowicz which is kinda in the region where Lipce is.

Anyway, this film is not super historically accurate (there's no way they would let Jagna have her hair down, not braided at all) but they did try. Overall, it's a nice introduction to the culture and an invitation to explore more on your own.
