Fashion between Tradition, Innovation, and Oppression

Fashion in Myanmar is undergoing a transformation that blends tradition with Western influences, reflecting the country’s social and economic changes. Driven by the opening to the global market, the rise of social media, and increased tourism, this cultural evolution clashes with the restrictions imposed by an authoritarian regime. In this context, fashion becomes both a symbol of hope and an act of silent resistance, expressing aspirations for modernity and the challenges of a society caught between innovation and oppression.
