Get to Know the Old World Style of Clothing

By Marianne Navarro
Clothing is an essential part of our lives. It is one of the features of all modern human societies. Its main purpose is functional, and that is to protect the body from the elements. It also enhances safety during dangerous activities such as cooking, skating, and hiking. It provides a barrier between the environment and the skin. In addition, it provides a hygienic barrier by limiting the transmissions of germs and keeping toxic substances away from the body. Nevertheless, clothing also performs cultural and social functions. Norms with regards to clothing reflect standards of religion, modesty, social status, and gender. Furthermore, clothing is a means for the expression of personal style.
The old world style of clothing is one of the most loved styles in the world of fashion. Old world style features designs that reflect a sense of authenticity and tradition. It uses antique-inspired pieces such as trims and buttons. It also incorporates old-world fabrics and tailoring with these designs. Johanna Uurasjarvi, a young native of Finland, says that "no matter how modern our designs, they are always in some way a reflection of the past." Her designer collection is wonderful and truly amazing. She even has prints, uniquely draped silhouettes, and unexpected color combinations photographed in old-world, regal fashion. Her collection is something that really shows how the old world style is like.
