Romania ’s Minister of Culture says she will request the luxury French fashion house Louis Vuitton to acknowledge that a traditional Romania n blouse directly inspired items in one of its 2024 collections.
“We will request that Louis Vuitton recognize the heritage and cultural value of the traditional blouse model with ribbons,” Raluca Turcan wrote on Facebook late Monday, adding it’s an opportunity for international recognition of the “inestimable value” of Romanian tradition. The blouse in question is known in Romanian as an “IE” , which typically has intricate embroidery and tassels and is widely recognized as a symbol of the country’s rich folk culture. In 2022, the garments with a specific style of embroidery were added to a UNESCO list of intangible cultural heritage.The allegedly inspired garments were in Nicolas Ghesquiere’s Resort 2024 collection for Louis Vuitton, where many items cost thousands of dollars .
The campaign for Louis Vuitton to “give credit” to Romanian heritage was launched on Sunday by the online community La Blouse Roumaine, which has long urged fashion houses to credit collections that appropriate traditional clothing.Andrew Tate loses appeal to relax judicial restrictions as he awaits human trafficking, rape trial“We need to protect our intangible cultural heritage.
