Oriental fashion reigns as Balkan war fuels style trends
The article surveys a wave of Ottoman and East Asian influences in current fashion, with fabrics like Kismet cloth and Moroccon suiting, Chinese crepes, kimono-inspired coats, and Oriental color palettes. It notes teas and tea trays as popular, plus a bold shift in hair and color choices among red, Titian, and auburn shades, all tied to wartime fascination and cultural diffusion.
