Bolivian designer exports high-end indigenous fashion

Today, one local designer is turning the tables with plans to export high-end cholita fashion — blossoming skirts, bowler hats and intricately woven shawls — to Madrid, Paris and beyond.

Fashionistas the world over are snatching up a must-have item for the “boho chic” look — an embroidered blouse or dress that is, in fact, Ukraine's national costume and new symbol of unity. It is “this summer's most sought-after item of clothing”, proclaimed the Times of London, while the New York Times advised readers to stock up on this “top of summer” fashion.
