EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back in time to the late 14th century in Germany, where both men and women donned intricately designed costumes that reflected their social status and cultural heritage. The man in this photograph is depicted wearing a gipon, a type of doublet that was popular during this era. The gipon features side vents, a girdle, a dagger, a hood, piked shoes, and hose. The side vents allowed for greater freedom of movement, while the girdle cinched the waist, accentuating the figure. The hood, often worn as a sign of nobility, protected the head and neck from the elements. Piked shoes, with their distinctive raised tips, were a fashionable choice for the elite, while hose served as both leggings and undergarments. The woman in the photograph wears an ornamental fillet, a decorative headband, and a loose garment with a low neckline, reminiscent of a surcoat but without vents. The surcoat was a common outer layer worn over other garments during this period, and its absence in this instance may indicate that it was intended to be seen only when the woman was in motion. The low neckline was a daring choice for the time, suggesting a sense of sophistication and confidence. This photograph, dating from circa 1350, offers a glimpse into the rich and varied world of medieval German costume. The intricate details of the clothing, from the gipon's side vents to the woman's ornamental fillet, reveal the care and craftsmanship that went into creating these garments. Through the study of such images, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the artistry and creativity of the past.
