Happy International Women’s Day! It seemed a perfect day to celebrate and admire the exquisite traditional dress (and omg all of the beads!) of Ukraine as captured so fantastically by Treti Pivni (@third_roosters)! #internationalwomensday #traditionalukrainianclothing #ukrainianstyle #ukrainiandress #ukranianfashion #ukrainestyle #ukrainefashion #ukraine #traditionaldress #traditionalcostume #culture #ukraineculture #beads #jewelry #textiles #strongwomen #fashion #style #styleinspo # #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofpardise (at Beads of Paradise NYC)

a dance of the T’Boli people of southern Mindanao, at the 2015 Merrie Monarch Ho’ike.

A dancer (Bharatanatyam, I believe) preparing for a performance. She is applying alta to her feet. You can also see the surya and chandra (sun and moon) ornaments in her hair (surya always is worn on the right).
