The guests of the exhibition “Russia” learn to wear traditional Karelian headdresses

Today, at our stand at VDNH, visitors are very interested in a master class on traditional headdresses, which is conducted by Yulia Filippova, head of the Ethnocenter of Karelian Culture “VIENA”.
A headdress for a Karelian woman has always served not only as an obligatory element of a traditional costume, reflecting the social status of the hostess, but also as a real talisman. Girls’ and women’s headdresses had their own characteristics, changed over time under the influence of fashion.

Today, the participants of the master class will learn how to wear a headdress when going to pick berries, milk a cow or on a holiday. Julia tells about the secrets of the Karelian costume and the magical power of the Karelian woman.
