Burqas in Oman, powerful or oppressing? Or hot.
Nadia Sablin's portfolio is really a great documentation of a typical post-soviet home environment, i feel very at home in these photos… I wonder what this type of dress is called in English – is there a word? The dress is usually made from colorful floral chintz, has the most basic cut with buttons in front and is meant to be worn as a generic housewife-at-work outfit… or in just about any occasion. In Estonian it is kittel.
Hot.
I know this photo is not in a classic sense elegant but doesn't it tell a great story? These patterned dresses together with the kitch and rosy plastic bag are really having a fierce existential battle with the gloomy post-apocalyptic background. And their bodies are like monuments to the conditions they've lived through.
what a story
Papakhi became an official part of the uniform in 1855 for the Cossacks and later for the rest of the cavalry.
