Hey everyone and congratulations on the first snow for everyone currently staying in Vilnius :)!!!
Today's post is about Lithuanian fashion. I believe that we are a fashionable culture, surprising everyone with our unique taste and shape of clothing. We differ from the West by incorporating more colors, expression in our clothing, and by the fact that our designers make a lot of unique hand made peaces.
Few of the most known Lithuanian designers:
Agne Kuzminskaite - one of the most prominent Lithuanian fashion designers of a young generation, exceptional for her functional conceptuality. One of the most popularly used elements in clothing is a butterfly logo. You can see her work here -> http://www.agnekuzmickaite.com/collections/
Juozas Statkevicius - the most prominent Lithuanian fashion designer, well-known far beyond the borders of the Baltic States. He is the first designer from the Baltics to present his haute couture collections in Paris (in 2001 and 2002) and the first Lithuanian who has made appearance on glossy pages of L'officiel, Elle and Vogue fashion magazines. His designs are worn by such stars as Bjork, Kyra Sadgwick and Naomi Watts wear them. He is also one of the initiators of the most famous fashion show in Lithuania - Fashion infection ( "Mados ifekcija"). His upcoming fashion show will be on December 2nd in Siemens Arena, tickets are available via Tiketa.lt. You can see his previous work here -> www.statkevicius.com/
Other Lithuanian designs worth seeing and popular among the youth - Nunu (https://goo.gl/hAKPuw), Tiulio Fėja (http://shop.tiuliofeja.lt/), Julia Janus (http://juliajanus.com/en/)
Street fashion
Lithuanian street fashion is highly seasonal.
Summer clothing: currently among young students you can see a lot of summer dresses, or short shorts with a tank top. On chillier nights girls pull out some leather pants and a nice shirt. Summer 2015 had a lot of navy prints mixed with red accessories.
Spring clothing: jackets, coats, thin scarfs and floral prints.
Autumn clothing is warmer. Commonly you will wear leather or any kind of rainproof shoes, a nice semi-warm coat and,on colder days, a scarf and gloves are quite a secure choice for not getting a cold. Dominant colors: yellow, green, dark red
During winter Lithuanians throw in many layers of clothes to combat the frost: furs, scarfs, gloves, caps, socks, tights under pants... Most of these warmest clothes are removed while in heated interiors (at some institutions this is even mandatory).
Vincas Alesius facebook page has become popular among the Lithuanian youth for viewing street fashion photographs. His usual scene is the center of Vilnius, Gedimino pr. - and you never know, one day you can appear in his album, secretly photographed for your unique look. - http://www.alesius.lt/ . His photos are also shared on a facebook group Humans of Vilnius where you can follow Lithuanian street fashion.
