The Artistic Value of Urban Albania Dress in the 19th and 20th Centuries
Abstract
The aim of this study is to speak about the artistic value of urban Albania dress in the 19th and 20th centuries. Specifically the quality and artistic value that the urban dress contribute in the quality of development for the cultural heritage of Albania. We have studies dedicated to the dress of the rural population whereas we have none for the urban populations and their artistic value. This isn’t to say that the urban dress hasn’t been developed during this time. Therefore in this study we will depending on a bibliography of different scholars—historians and ethnologists that have done analyses of the rural dress; or, in other cases, a piece of writing has mentioned the origin and production of the different fabrics, that were produced for a special person or the attire of those in the cities in general, by those in the village. This happened because the consolidation and institutionalization in general, and specifically for the art and culture that were shaped and consolidated over 900 (nine hundred) years after the declaration of independence on November 1912. This is why the studies in this field are rare and don’t specifically speak about the urban dress and their artistic value. This study will focus on the value of the special artistic features of the attire of the urban population.
Keywords: Urban dress, Urban attire, Artistic value, Artistic Characteristics and features.
