Bosnia and Herzegovina How did fashion develop?

Bosnia and Herzegovina's fashion industry has developed as the country has been influenced by different cultural influences throughout history. During the periods under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, traditional Turkish clothing was widely used in Bosnia-Herzegovina. In the early 20th century, Bosnia and Herzegovina was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. During this period, European fashion became influential in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Western-style clothing became popular. Especially the rich and the elite followed European fashion trends. The Yugoslavia period (1918-1992) was an important period for the Bosnia-Herzegovina fashion industry. During this period, the Yugoslav fashion industry created internationally recognized and successful brands. Bosnia and Herzegovina played an important role, especially in textile and clothing production. However, with the dissolution of Yugoslavia and the declaration of independence of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1990s, the fashion industry entered a difficult period. War and economic difficulties caused the fashion industry to decline. However, in recent years, the fashion industry in Bosnia and Herzegovina has begun to revive. Today, Bosnia and Herzegovina is revitalizing its fashion scene with the emergence of local designers and brands.

Additionally, issues such as sustainable fashion and recycling are becoming increasingly important. As a result, the fashion industry of Bosnia and Herzegovina has been influenced and developed by different cultural influences throughout history.
