#huipil

helloo

to celebrate my country's independence day, I made a girl Mob wearing traditional clothing from one of Mexico's states, Oaxaca 💞

I want to draw her with other traditional clothing from the states my family is from but, for now, here's a little oaxaqueña Mob (I did my best to do all the details 😭😭)

the picture I used as a reference

(i excluded the huipil that goes on the head since I saw there were other versions where women didn't use it but, now that I think of it, it would've been way cooler if I drew Mob with the huipil on,,,)

Pg. 1 - Kixai'huipil

Ever continuing efforts in bettering relations with the allied societies, the Higuri Regalia made first contact with the native Hanuhanu of Kozama’uka, and rumors spread quickly of their upcoming line that the avian peoples were all too eager to contribute!  

The huipil is but one of many types of clothing worn by the indigenous Turali; what makes this particular one special is that it is woven primarily with the very reeds that the Hanuhanu use in their day-to-day activities, which naturally gives it unparalleled breathability due to its heavy wind-aspected signature.

While the bright colors and decorative embroideries are pleasant in their own right, the crowning feature of this outfit is that it bears the likeness of Kixaihih - the deity revered by the Hanuhanu, and the very being which blesses them with the power of the wind.  The leggings come with feet resembling moccasins, and can be comfortably worn with additional footwear for those looking to traverse rough terrain, and the feathered headdress of the Hanu deity brings it all together, displaying a proud sight from any angle.

The cleverly-named Kixai’huipil is an excellent compliment to any wardrobe looking for some New World flair, whether you’re out for a breezy stroll through the mire, or seeing the sights with the Turali Travel Agency!

Mexican fashion - trends not to miss

Mexican fashion is distinguished by its vibrant patterns, dynamic prints, and textiles in striking colors. These elements are omnipresent in both traditional Mexican clothing and culture. In particular, Mexican women's fashion is rich in playful designs and bright colors, reflecting the essence of this culture. For years, traditional clothing styles worn by Mexican women have experienced a resurgence in popularity, influencing summer fashion trends annually. Off-the-shoulder tops and ruffled dresses inspired by Mexican fashion are no longer reserved for a simple Mexican fiesta. They have seamlessly integrated into our everyday wardrobe, offering original, inspired pieces. Moreover, many Mexican designers draw from their cultural heritage to create energetic and unique collections.

What are the different types of Mexican clothing?

Traditional Mexican clothing is a tribute to color, craftsmanship, and history. Numerous iconic Mexican outfits, with their variety of colors and patterns, make up what we know today as Mexican fashion.

The Tehuana Costume

The women of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, in southern Mexico, are world-renowned for their colorful traditional costumes, made particularly popular by the iconic Frida Kahlo, who made these outfits her signature. These garments, with their floral patterns and bright colors, have often been featured in the media. The Tehuanas, who wear these costumes, remain proud of their cultural identity and fashion heritage.

The Rebozo

The rebozo is a multifunctional garment, often made of cotton, wool, or silk, primarily used to cover the head or body. This essential accessory in Mexican fashion serves both practical purposes and adds elegance to any outfit.

The Huipil

The huipil is a sleeveless tunic, highly popular in Mexico. This traditional garment helps identify the wearer’s geographical origins through specific patterns, a practice common in many cultures worldwide. The huipil is both a homage to craftsmanship and a symbol of cultural belonging.

Aztec Clothing

Traditional Aztec clothing was often loose and colorful, marked by a rich palette due to the vast trade network of the time. These garments continue to influence Mexican fashion today, especially through intricate designs and textiles that celebrate the heritage of pre-Columbian civilizations.

The Influence of Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo is undoubtedly one of the greatest ambassadors of Mexican fashion. Her unmistakable style, combining pearl-adorned earrings, elaborate necklaces, and floral headpieces, embodies the playful, maximalist spirit of Mexican fashion. Her influence extends far beyond Mexico's borders and has inspired many international designers.

Contemporary Mexican Designers

Mexican fashion isn't limited to its rich cultural heritage. It is also represented by a dynamic and flourishing contemporary scene, with designers who challenge norms and redefine the perception of Mexican fashion both locally and globally. Mexico City, in particular, has become a creative hub where tradition meets modernity. Kris Goyri Kris Goyri's style is characterized by bold silhouettes, vibrant colors, and clean lines, a perfect example of the balance between tradition and modernity in Mexican fashion.

writing this one-shot fic of mavuika and capitano is rlly grinding my gears bc ofc i'm researching a Lot about traditional "Natlan" attire, which means really diving deep into the cultures that Natlan was inspired by.

so what the fuck genshin. "Mavuika" is from Mahuika, the Maori god of fire, and then you adorn her with Aztec-themed clothes, and her home is inspired by the native American and Philippine pueblos. you really lumped all of our cultures together like it's one thing, and it would have been tolerable, but then you fucking make her as white as paper.

sigh.

Traditional Scotsma'am

aka, Anne Sallow in a traditional Scots dress.

(At least as traditional as I can make it since there were many different types of dresses while going with the green theme that her brother had in my last drawing.)

Needless to say, Anne's a rebel since she's showing off her ankles (Even if her boots aren't showing them) considering the Victorian Standards of that time period.

Sebastian did always say she was the most mischievous of their original snake trio of Seb, Ominis and Anne.

The Vibrant World of Mexican Folk Art

I recently went out to lunch with my daughter and we went to a local mexican food restaurant where I saw beautiful Mexican Folk Art.  When we walked into the restaurant foyer, we were met with the most beautiful portrait of Frida that I have ever seen.  I was mesmerized by it.  The colors were bright and unusual and the portrait was oversized so you could not miss it or avoid it.  I truly was…
