Long Mexican Huipiles (pronounced
Wee-Peel-ays) |
||
 A huipil is a loose
rectangular garment with a hole in the middle for the head and made from
cotton or wool or even silk. They can be in the form of a blouse or a
long dress and are worn by indigenous women in Mexico and Guatemala.
A huipil tells us about the woman who wove
it and the woman who wears it; it tells us the story of who she is,
where she is from, her
power, and something about her personality. Each region and the villages
within the regions have their own huipiles that are distinctive in
shape, design, style, and color. Their differences spell out the story
that is contained in the weaving. The huipile Women of the United States have recently been discovering, and falling in love with, these amazing garments. Loose, comfortable, and flattering--they are perfect for any season as they allow maximum breathability in the summer when it is hot, and they look wonderful over turtlenecks in the winter. A huipile looks amazing worn either traditionally, over a long skirt, or modernized over jeans or tall boots--or just by itself! Recently, Martha Stewart did a special on the Yucatan in Mexico. She talks about the versatility of huipiles and models them herself. Check out the segment at http://www.marthastewart.com/article/yucatan-mexico |

groups or regions such as the Mixtecs, Chinantecs, Zaucalpa, Triques,
and Zapotec who live in southern Mexico or in Guatemala. In the
indigenous world for women to weave textiles was and is now again
considered an important form of art. For to weave motifs that reflected
nature, religious, and cosmic concepts meant that women had to
incorporate many different meanings in the huipile through the use of
colors and symbols.
