Introduction to competition festival

Fashion Festival is a fashion show for Yi girls, and there are two places in Yizhou, Chuxiong where there are fashion festivals. One is the clothing festival in Zhiju village, Yongren county, which is held on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year. One is the Saizhuang Festival in Santai Township, Dayao County held on March 28th every year. Fashion Festival provides an opportunity for young men and women who live in scattered places and have little chance to get together and get to know each other. The most attractive thing for girls is to see whose clothes are the most beautiful. Yi women's clothes rely entirely on hand-made peach blossoms and embroidery, and it often takes one or two years to make a suit. Therefore, whoever has more clothes and good patterns will be regarded as hardworking, capable and clever. Different from the way of competition in the past, people no longer wear all their clothes on their bodies, but constantly change new clothes. Some girls have to change five or six clothes a day. Therefore, another scene appeared in the competition festival: by the mountain tube and under the green trees, the old people set up countless tents, cooked food and faithfully guarded their clothes for their girls. Fashion Festival has a competitive nature from the beginning, which is the earliest fashion show. The difference is that Yi girls are not only designers and producers of clothes, but also "fashion models" in performances.
