Kurdish festive costume. Yüksekova (Hakkâri, Turkey).

Posted by Jean-Marie Criel on February 16, 2016 at 8:40pm

Traditional festive dress from Yüksekova (prov. Hakkâri), near the border with Iran. Ethnic group: Kurdish. Clothing style: 1980s. Except for the silk headgear (called ‘kôfi’), this costume is also the summer weekday dress; encountering women dressed like this, tending a few cows and calves in the midst of fresh-green pastures, is a stunning experience. (Kavak Costume Collection-Antwerpen/Belgium).
