“World Costume Festival”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The World Costume Festival is an international fashion festival held every two years in the Philippines city of Vigan City in Ilocos Sur.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] The event showcases indigenous and modern costumes^[5] geared towards live performances, such as drama, festivals, events, as well as multimedia presentations.^[5] It emphasizes apparel for special ritual occasions or theater performance work as opposed to regular fashion apparel. Its organizers aim to promote tourism as well as encourage native loom-weaving and fabrics.^[7] There is an emphasis on fabric materials and Philippine weaving methods such as batik, abel, and piña, from different parts of the Philippines.^[5] A festival was held in Vigan City in the last week of April in 2013.^[6] The dominant view is that the 2013 festival in Vigan was the first world costume festival, although there is a report of a similar costume festival that was held in Davao City in the southern Philippine island of Mindanao in 2001.^[7] There are reports of the event either becoming an annual event or being held every two years. The event coincides with fashion festivals held in different cities in the Philippines.^[11] The event was described as a preview for the World Stage Design Festival in Cardiff, Wales.^[11] The primary focus of the event is a costume competition. The highest award at the festival is the Golden Kneeling Carabao Trophy, the carabao is a Philippine water buffalo sometimes found in swamps.^[8] In addition to the costume competition, the event has workshops, classes by designers, conferences, as well as lectures from international experts. There is a costume parade down the cobblestone streets of Vigan.^[9] The event has "jubilant colors" as well as a body-painting competition.^[10] The Manila Standard described the event as "kaleidoscopic" with people wearing costumes from the historic past.^[11]
