Fortuna: Difference between revisions

Traditional clothing associated with Fortuna comes from a history of social segregation as a form of displaying one's social status. Although general designs were shared, those in the upper and more noble classes of the archipelago differentiated through the wearing of bright, beautiful robes, color-coded short capes, and the use of lavish fabrics such as silk. Through the 19th and into the 20th century, the islands would see further adoption of Southeast fashion as the Fortunan states industrialized and further interacted with the outside world. The most recognizable national costumes of Fortuna include the ''pentalindo'' and ''cinturindo'', even though they are most prominently associated with Rosan and Anconan culture. A common aspect found among most regional costumes on the Fortunan Archipelago is the use of a ''spalla copri'', a shoulder cover, which was used to show social standing. ''Spalla copri'' consist of a single piece of cloth which covers the wearers shoulders and connected in the front with a decorative metal brooch or cord. It is often made out of silk and sometimes designed through the use of methods such as resist dyeing, woven patterns, or prints.
