Franz Nopcsa von Felső-Szilvás, one of the founders of
Albanology, suggested that the Celtic kilt emerged after the Albanian kilt was introduced to the Celts through the Roman legions in Britain, while folklorist Ioanna Papantoniou considers the Celtic kilt, as viewed by the
Roman legions, to have served as a prototype.
[3] Sir Arthur Evans considered the fustanella of the female peasants (worn over and above the Slavonic apron) living near the modern
Bosnian-
Montenegrin borders as a preserved
Illyrian element among the local Slavic-speaking populations.

Fustanella - Phantis
Findings of depictions of fustanellas in Slovenia , from eras in which Slovenia was part of Illyria, and inhabitants in several regions of the country wearing fustanellas in the past have lead many researchers and historians to the conclusion
of an Illyrian origin of fustanella, with Albanians having inherited fustanella from Illyrians.[1][2] The fustanella is thought by some researchers to have evolved from the Roman
toga. Many statues of Roman emperors depict them wearing knee-length pleated kilts
[3]. In colder regions, more folds were added. Fustanella is thought to have been originally a southern Albanian outfit of Tosks, which was introduced in Greece, during the Ottoman Occupation.

The use of the garment was spread by Albanian bands via Epirus into Greece during the 18th and 19th centuries
