EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and explore the captivating world of French fashion during the late 15th century, as depicted in this stunning print from Mary Evans Prints Online. Dating from the period between 1460 and 1480, this evocative image transports us to a bygone era of elegance and opulence. For the men of the time, the fashionable attire consisted of shallow caps with upturned brims, providing both style and protection from the elements. Underneath, they wore jackets with distinctive pleats and doublets, which accentuated the waist and created an hourglass silhouette. In contrast, the women's fashion was characterized by grandeur and luxury. They donned gowns with luxurious fur borders, adding a touch of warmth and sophistication to their ensembles. The V-neckline was a popular choice, often adorned with revers, which were richly decorated collars that could be worn either turned out or hidden. A kirtle, a fitted underdress, was worn beneath the gown, while a hood-like headdress completed the look. Some women also wore hoods with liripipes, long tassels that hung down the back, adding an air of mystery and allure. Accessories such as capes, horns, and fouriaux (long, fringed strips of fabric) were also essential components of medieval French fashion. Minstrels and harpists, who were a common sight at royal courts and feasts, often wore these distinctive costumes, adding to the enchanting atmosphere of the period. This print offers a unique glimpse into the fashionable world of late 15th-century France, transporting us back in time and allowing us to appreciate the intricacies and beauty of medieval attire.
