A Field Study of Gipsy Clothes in Some Governorates of Egypt

“Gipsies” are people spread across all continents in the form of closed communities themselves. Their conditions are ambiguous; they adhere to their own customs and are associated with one secret cord of lifestyles, behaviours, creativity, and adoration. The arts—colouring in the most important contexts of life and, above all, costumes in every environment in which they resolve—consider this a compulsory type of compatibility and social adaptation. They are the tribes of Pal Huya. Tu unite them, the nationalism of their congregation, and the homeland they dream of sovereignty over or returning to you. I believed that all the land of their homeland and that hanging out their curse, they had nothing but their habits and traditions. On the ground, we can talk about the Roma’s races and identities. Their identity is one of the next, the strangers. These Roma knocked on the doors of the world; they raised great surprise; theories swirled about their origins; and over the centuries, they succeeded in maintaining a distinctive identity and showing superior adaptability and survival. Naturally, every Roma inhabitant sees they are distinct and different groups; they belong to a particular culture in the world because they have not adopted a particular culture, and the study shows historical Roma people are bearers of the culture of other peoples, whether the Roma constitutes their own culture or the other, which is reflected in their clothes and accessories, and that’s what you’ll take up in this study. In light of this, we suspect that Roma fashion has been influenced by the tolerance and alphabet of many of the people, it passed through during its migration, which is explained by the similarity in certain elements and the construction of clothing between a particular Roma community and a particular people. Non-gipsy, examples of this are Roma women’s clothes in Egypt, where Roma women’s costumes usually contain images of the environment in which they arise and the details of the life in which they live. To the same extent, we can see the link between the nature of women’s lives in their society and the geographical conditions, the cutting of the uniform, its shape, its construction, and the materials made of it. The study aims to study the nature of the Roma community in Egypt in general, the governorates of Orientale and EL-Wasta-Beni Suef in particular, and the impact of the social environment on the community of Roma through the study and analysis of their own women’s costumes. This aim has been achieved through field visits and interviews conducted to collect information on Egyptian Roma costumes, traditions, and customs. Data was analysed, and associations and bodies involved in monument and heritage collection were visited.
