The Art of the Armenian Costume is Loucine Zeitountsian's loving ode to the dazzling legacy of Armenian clothing. The beautiful photos featured in the volume, complemented by the author's extensively researched descriptions, represent a large span of Armenian history, from the first millennium BC to the early part of the 20th century. As Zeitountsian writes, traditional Armenian costumes, with their intricate designs, vibrant colors, and signature elegance, reflect the distinct styles of Armenia's storied provinces and counties, as unmistakable components of the larger vocabulary of Armenian culture.
