A Renaissance for Dress

We can see that fashion is used as a mode of the elite, long before the era of haute couture. This connotation is stamped deep into our consciousness. Would also explain why we crave as much? We see it as our ancestors did, as a means of social growth? Fashion grew more and more now, as the company matured. By the time of the Renaissance in Europe, fashion as a means of social control had a weapon in the arsenal of the ruling classes.

From 1500, the concept of "good times" man or a woman was eligible. The use of clothing to show or announce popular, especially among the rich and the title. Suggestive clothing male characteristics, such as the tight hose and codpiece on a vogue. Some courtiers by Nicolo Machiavelli, began to favor black as the color of their clothes, are judges, scholars and professional men in the belief that color gave them a dignified seriousness or dust in the eyes of society.

Perhaps the world of everyday life and art began to merge. For me, portrait of 1500 and 1600 shows, virile men, while women presented with a touch of the non-minded nature. Does this have to do with the idealisation of the fact that women were so closely involved in back then?
