Historic Fashion Textiles — Armenian Museum of America

Historic Fashion Textiles

Many Armenian dance groups have donated costumes which were designed to replicate garments worn in historic Armenia. Long skirts, vertical stripes, and scalloped edges are just a few characteristics of these outfits. In this video, Collections Curator Gary Lind-Sinanian shows us four 20th century pieces worn by dance groups that accurately represent traditional Armenian dress. We also have more than 60 authentic Armenian garments in our textile collection.
