Vintage streetstyle, round 3: Carnival inspiration


With carnival time approaching, here is some great vintage inspiration. Photo sent by Zuzana H.: "On the picture is my great grand mother Irena Žufová (her maiden name), the third from right in the clown costume. The picture was taken in 1916 in Budapest, where she studied to be a teacher. At that time it was quite rare and a big deal, there were not so many women studying or having the means to study. She was a very wise and smart woman, from a respected family. I was always told I look like a copy of her. I never believed it until I was shown this particular photograph. Since then I can't stop staring at it, the likeness in undoubtable."

Skvelá vintage inšpirácia na blížiace sa fašiangy, maškarné a karnevaly. Fotku poslala Zuzana H.: "Na fotke je moja prababka Irena Žufová (ešte za slobodna), v strednom rade tretia z prava, v kostýme klauna. Fotka bola robená v roku 1916 v Budapešti, kde študovala pedagogickú školu. Na tú dobu to bola dosť rarita a bolo okolo toho veľké Haló, vtedy bolo len málo žien, ktoré študovali a ktoré si to hlavne mohli finančne dovoliť. Bola to veľmi rozhľadená a inteligentná žena, pochádzajúca z váženej rodiny, o ktorej mi vždy hovorili, že som jej vernou kópiou. Nikdy som tomu moc neverila, ale keď mi bola ukázaná práve táto fotka, nevedela som sa na ňu vynadívať, tá podoba je proste neodškriepiteľná."
