| European Fashion History |
|
The European idea of fashion as a
personal statement rather than a cultural expression begins in the 16th century: ten portraits
of German or Italian gentlemen may show ten entirely different hats. But the
local culture still set the bounds, as Albrecht D'rer recorded in his actual or
composite contrast of Nuremberg and Venetian fashions at the close of the 15th century
(illustration, right). Fashions among upper-class Europeans began to move
in synchronicity in the 18th
century; though colors and patterns of textiles changed from year to year,
(Thornton), the cut of a gentleman's coat and the length of his waistcoat, or
the pattern to which a lady's dress was cut changed more slowly. Men's fashions
derived from military models, and changes in a European male silhouette are
galvanized in theatres of European war, where gentleman officers had
opportunities to make notes of foreign styles: an example is the "Steinkirk"
cravat. |
