From the moment when Henry Matisse painted his 1940 piece “La Blouse Romaine”, painting that was exposed at the National Museum of Modern Art in Paris, the Romanian traditional dress has become a universal symbol. Another Romanian painter, of Jewish origin, Constantin Daniel Rosenthal, immortalized Maria Rosetti in his painting "Revolutionary Romania", wearing both a traditional dress and a traditional headpiece. The traditional Romanian dress also appears in paintings signed by famous Romanian painters as Camil Ressu, Ion Theodorescu-Sion, Francisc Sirato, Nicolae Tonitza, Dumitru Ghiata, and others.           

What do Adele, Nicole Kidman and Halle Berry have in common? The fact that at some point they were all inspired by the traditional Romanian shirt in the makeup of their outfits.
