EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the essence of fashionable attire in Strasbourg, France, during the late 17th century. The two men in the photograph are proudly wearing the latest fashion, which had been recently introduced to the region by Charles II of England. The new vests, inspired by Persian mode, feature intricately designed slashed sleeves and are paired with cravats and cloak-like outer garments. The Persian influence on European fashion during this period was significant, and Charles II, known for his love of exotic styles, played a pivotal role in popularizing this trend. The men in the photograph are adorned with keys, a common accessory during this time, adding an air of sophistication to their outfits. The headdresses worn by the men are typical of Alsatian folk dress, featuring tall, conical shapes and intricate patterns. The cloaks, with their rich fabrics and elegant designs, provide a sense of grandeur and opulence. The overall effect is one of elegance and refinement, reflecting the fashionable trends of the time. The photograph, dated 1670, offers a glimpse into the rich and diverse fashion culture of Strasbourg during this period. It is a reminder of the far-reaching impact of royal patronage on fashion trends and the enduring influence of cross-cultural exchange on European fashion history.
