The traditional Russian headdress, the kokoshnik, is known all over the world. It inspires designers, artists and fashion designers. The kokoshnik is used as an element of the national costume on holidays and festivals. It is especially popular at weddings: brides put on kokoshniks in a modern design, continuing the centuries-old tradition.👰♀️
✨Kokoshniks were popular in Russia from the 14th to the beginning of the 20th century. They have always been a luxury item passed down from generation to generation. Some headdresses, decorated with pearls and gold, cost as much as a whole house.
🧵🪡 Headdresses were sewn by private craftswomen or workshops at monasteries. Only professionals could work with expensive fabrics and materials. Women usually ordered or purchased them at large fairs.
👰The kokoshnik is traditionally considered an adornment only for married women. In many regions, for the first time, girls put on a kokoshnik for a wedding. Before marriage, young ladies wore open headdresses that emphasized their main advantage - a long and thick braid.
