The folklore style is most popular among Japanese girls, it became recognized in the late summer and fall of 2008. If you noticed latest Givenchy collections, you could see that folklore isn't used just by Japanese, but by leading designers in fashion world also.
Article from September 2008:
Scotland is quoted by Ralph Lauren who signs jackets with a tartan shawl collar and simple hats heaped with feathers imagined by Philip Treacy. The tartan’s pattern was printed on silk dresses, but also on stockings in D&G, and a modern variant of the kilt with a wide belt is to be found in Dsquared collection.
Frida Giannini created for Gucci a collection extremely rich in details (jewelleries, embroideries and prints) a mixture of chic with folklore, and Roberto Cavalli has the 19th century Peru as a main source of inspiration. A Latin spirit is to be found in the Chloe collection also, with extremely gypsy embroideries, while AF Vandervorst interprets the Mormons’ dressing codes.
The practical and comfortable bag, metallic plates belts, high boots (in Gucci), Aztec drawings printed by Louise Gordon on blouses by padding, “western” shirts and feather skirts (in Ralph Lauren) suggest the image of an unusual globe trotter, for whom is apparently impossible to give up luxury, but still, who tries to maintain the comfort of a travel outfit.
