How has Estonian Fashion developed?

Estonia's fashion industry has experienced limited development due to difficult conditions during the Soviet Union. However, after the collapse of the Soviet Union and Estonia's independence, the fashion industry began to develop rapidly. In the 1990s, Estonia began to follow fashion trends from Western Europe and the United States. New fashion brands and designers have emerged and the local fashion industry has revived. Estonian designers have begun to produce unique and original designs by interpreting local culture and traditions in a modern way. Estonia's EU membership and globalization process in the 2000s enabled the fashion industry to further develop. Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, has started to host fashion weeks and events. Estonian designers have started to promote themselves on international platforms. Today, the Estonian fashion industry attracts the attention of young and talented designers as well as international brands. Estonian designers produce original and environmentally friendly designs by focusing on issues such as sustainable fashion, the use of local materials and the modern use of traditional handicrafts. Estonia's fashion industry has made great progress from the difficult conditions of the past. Local designers and brands represent Estonia's fashion scene on international platforms, promoting the country's cultural heritage and creativity worldwide.
