Ruffles have been a popular feature in fashion for centuries which might have originated from the Spanish Flamenco dress, as a representation of femininity. The flamenco dress, also known as the “traje de gitana” or gypsy dress, has a long and fascinating history in Spain. It is a traditional costume worn by female flamenco dancers and is characterized by its vibrant colors, ruffles, and flowing skirts. The origins of the flamenco dress can be traced back to the 18th century, where it was first worn by gypsy women in Andalusia, a region in southern Spain. Over time, the flamenco dress evolved to incorporate elements from other Spanish regions and cultures. Today, it is a symbol of Spanish cultural identity and is often featured in flamenco dance performances and festivals around the world.
The ruffle trend was reintroduced by the Italian fashion house Blumarine in the early 2000s. Two decades later, 2000s trends have come back to the mainstream as well as Blumarine’s incorporation of the style in their Spring/Summer 2023 Milan Fashion Week–– reviving the trend for everyone to see.
Since the beginning of the Spanish Flamenco dress, it’s been reinterpreted by designers all over the world, including local designer Ushi Sato. Other brands have also caught up with the trend, such as the local made-to-order brand Miu the Label.
The ruffle dress is a fun and playful addition to any wardrobe, and it’s easy to see why so many stylish individuals are falling head over heels for this trend. Not only does it look adorable, but it’s also incredibly versatile. Dress it up with heels for a night out or pair it with sneakers for a cute and casual look. The ruffles add a playful touch to any outfit, and they’re the perfect way to show off your girly side. Here’s how your favorite celebrities and influencers chose to style their ruffle dresses:
