100 posts – time to introduce myself properly. Perfect timing as it’s my favorite season, Bavaria’s ‘fifth season’, it’s Octoberfest time and I love it. Not (only) because of drinking and rollercoasters but because it’s the time of the year when you can wear traditional bavarian clothing without feeling dressed up.
As much as I am obsessed about fashion and style I love bavarian costumes in all their variety and I admire the craftsmanship and the tradition that’s behind it.Being born and raised in Munich, capital of Bavaria, a ‘Dirndl’ feels quite natural to me so every year towards the end of September I get one of my Dirndls out of the closet, iron the apron nicely and get ready for the big tent and a few steins of beer.
(As you can see I like to do my very personal ‘interpretation’ of bavarian Dirndl and do not follow the traditional rules but please – do not treat it as a carneval costume and please don’t buy any at the airport)

I am wearing a Dirndl from the Night-Fleamarket in Wasserburg a. Inn, a scarf and a hat from NB Kleidermarkt, a cashmere cardigan from a second hand store in Los Angeles, earrings from a market in L.A., cherry broche and shoes from a fleamarket, bag by The Bridge, rings from Turkey and France and a bracelet from Menu 12.

So geht Tracht in meinen Augen! Es ist kein steifes, von der Tradition eingraviertes und vorgegebenes Schema, für mich bedeutet es eher, dass “Tracht” vom Tragen kommt, und nur die Elemente übernommen werden: der mittellange ausgestellte Rock mit Schürze, Mieder oder nicht – je nachdem, wie der Leib geschneidert ist, Bluse oder anderes oder nicht, Tuch oder Schal oder nix – da kann man sich schon bewegen.
Ich liebe deinen Mustermix und die Farben und die Schuhe: Tracht ohne die Staubschicht eben. Als Oberösterreicherin mag ich nämlich Tracht genausogerne wie du – nur halt mit ein paar Freiheiten.
