Over 50 ethnic costumes in various colors, showcasing the cultural beauty of countries and territories around the world, were presented at Miss Cosmo 2024. With the aim of spreading traditional beauty while inspiring creativity among designers, the recent Miss Cosmo event demonstrated its grandeur and professional scale. Representatives from each country brought a cultural story to life through meticulously crafted ethnic costumes, reflecting their unique identities. Among them, the striking appearance of Hazel Holters - Miss Cosmo Bolivia - wearing an outfit representing Inca culture was one of the most visually stunning performances for the audience.
The distinctive attire of a country is a reflection of its culture and history. In the case of Colombia, its folk culture related to clothing speaks to the diversity of its people; the climate and the lightness of its communities. It is a blend of indigenous cultures, along with Spanish and African influences brought during the colonial period. Colombia is known for having a rich folk culture. Despite its influences from various regions, over the years, the Colombian people have created unique characteristics in their culture that set it apart. One of the most remarkable aspects of Colombian culture is its traditional clothing, which clearly showcases a vibrant, diverse heritage. Recently, the design of Hazel Holters' outfit introduced the public to the beauty of Colombian attire.
Representing Inca culture, the largest empire in pre-Columbian America, the attire of Miss Cosmo Bolivia beautifully incorporates gold, silver, gemstones, and intricately handcrafted fabrics made by women of the Inca civilization. The patterns of the sun and moon, as well as various deities, are skillfully designed. Abstract motifs and geometric shapes are adorned with gemstones, featuring delicate embroidery and painting, all of which conceal stories from an ancient culture. Together, these elements blend to create a strikingly beautiful contrast.
The traditional attire of Colombia showcases the diversity of a nation rooted in its origins while naturally blending various influences to create a wide array of striking clothing and accessories. Despite the many colors, the overall effect is harmonious rather than overwhelming; instead, it stands out and conveys deep content and messages. This vibrant variety not only celebrates ethnic diversity and cultural richness but also symbolizes unity and equality through its unique garments.
