Vendi’s work consitutes an important achievement in experimental archaeology. She interprets Roman dress culture through an interdisciplinary link between two fields – archaeology and fashion/costume design. The result is authentic Roman clothing, which thus reproduced brings an aspect of life in Roman times closer to us. Vendi Jukic Buča, an archaeologist and innovative fashion and costume designer has managed, by combining these two professions, to clearly present how the Roman upper class looked like. Her richly detailed and authentic costumes arouse the interest and admiration of many. Vendijino delo je pomemben del eksperimentalne arheologije. Rimsko oblačilno kulturo interpretira prek interdisciplinarne povezave dveh strok – arheologije in modnega oblikovanja/kostumografije. Rezultat so verodostojna rimska oblačila, ki poustvarjajo in nam tako približujejo enega od vidikov življenja v rimskem času.

Roman Clothing

Roman society was open to all different kinds of foreign influence – from religion to fashion. They mostly adopted customs from Greek, Etruscan culture and from the native peoples whose lands they conquered. For this reason (and for practical reasons of functionality) through the years the Romans developed numerous different types of clothing.

Research

The goal was the attain an authentic style for Roman clothing, as displayed on statues and frescoes and as described in historical sources, while retaining costume design functions and certain important properties.

Advanced Technology

Costumes were made in different ways and from different fabrics using modern sewing techniques. Many types of clothing of the higher class of Roman citizenry were made in order to show their different variations and the effects displayed by the different fabrics themselves as well as those coming from their combinations.
