  The Soviet system of centralized production and distribution of clothes was forced on East European countries after 1948, when the communists seized power, regardless of their previously higher levels of technical and stylistic skill in clothing design and production. The East European communist regimes embraced early Soviet ideology, officially rejecting Western fashion. East European communist dress was not only born inside a reality burdened with postwar material poverty, but also inside a reality stripped of all previous clothing references. Clothing was forbidden to evoke beauty or elegance. It was officially claimed that functional, simple, and classless communist dress, which would fulfill all the sartorial needs of working women, would result from serious scientific and technical research. https://www.encyclopedia.com/fashion/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/communist-dress https://www.encyclopedia.com/fashion/encyclopedias-almanacs-...

    Well if you have a baby you'd know that function is kind of important in baby clothing. They're not exactly cooperative when getting dressed... Not to mention, they can't pick their own clothing. Parents do. Regardless, our kid has some cute/fun clothing (a fleece bear onesie for example), some chosen by us, some chosen by others, and most of it is functional. A bald 0-3 month baby isn't going to wear a dress nor a suit.
