An Introduction...





Hello everyone!

After thinking for a while about what I wanted to talk about I came up with this blog's theme. There were lots of topics to choose from, but I couldn't decide. Since I like History I thought: 'why not looking at it from a different perspective?'

Fashion has changed throughout the ages, according to social standards, beauty models and periods' necessities. Along this blog's posts my hope is to learn and show you a beautiful part of History not often acknowledged but, from my point of view, very interesting.

I will try to keep it simple: it's a very specific topic and I want us both (me and you, reader) to understand it.

So I hope you'll like this blog's content and even if you are not very interested in this subject you can always scroll down the screen and take a look at the marvellous fabrics and jewellery ancient people used to wear 💫.

And...that's it! I'm planning on focusing mainly on ancient civilisations ( such as Egypt, Mesopotamia, etc) but if you'd like me to cover any other, you can leave me a comment :) Of course, I'll try to research it as best as possible, but if you notice or know something I don't, please let me know. Also, you're VERY welcome to leave a nice comment just because you've liked the entry!

Have a nice day! 👾

    I'm interested in the topic you're going to talk about. Since the concept of fashion has changed a lot throughout history. I have heard that the Egyptians wore wigs instead of their real hair, is this true?.

Mesopotamia

 MESOPOTAMIA Mesopotamia is the name today used to refer to the land and civilisations located between the rivers Tigris and Euphrates from 3000 to 300 B.C.E..  Throughout its history, Mesopotamia was occupied by different cultures which are studied together due to the similarities between them.The main five were the Sumerians (3000-2000 B.C.E), Akkadians ( 2350-2218 B.C.E.), Babylonians (1894-1595 B.C.E.), Assyrians (1380-612 B.C.E.) and the Persians (550-330 B.C.E.).  Considered as the 'Cradle of civilisation', the people who lived within this region are known by their creativeness, and historians point them out as the minds behind some of the most important inventions in History, such as the cuneiform script or the wheel.                            The Ishtar gate                                ...

The Byzantine empire

 THE BYZANTINE EMPIRE In 395 C.E. the Roman Empire was divided in two halves. The Western Roman Empire fell in 476, however the Eastern Roman Empire, also known as the Byzantine Empire, lasted until 1453, when the Ottoman Turks conquered the capital, Constantinople. Located in an strategic place between three seas (the Mediterranean, Aegean and Black Sea) and two continents, the Byzantine Empire became the most important system in Middle Age Europe. FASHION: COSTUMES The Byzantine empire inherited the traditional fashion of the Roman Empire and was heavily influenced by the Middle East's trends.  Firstly, clothing covered from neck to ankles since high necklines and long sleeves were used, and it was really colourful as a consequence of the relations between the Empire and the East (red, green, blue and yellow often coloured the attires, and purple was reserved for royalty). In contrast with other cultures which we have taken a look at in this blog, Byzantines didn't elaborate...

CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICAN CIVILISATIONS: MAYAS, AZTECS AND INCAS

Imagen
CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICAN CIVILISATIONS: MAYAS, AZTECS AND INCAS Around 300 B.C.E. several complex civilisations inhabited Central and South America. Among them were the Aztecs or Mexicas, Mayas and Incas, although some others could be also highlighted, like the olmec and zapotec cultures. FASHION: COSTUMES Even though these three iconic societies were separated in time and space, similarities in their clothing can be easily found. For this reason, some general characteristics must be pointed out.  Firstly, garments were decorated according to the social position of the wearer: the higher the status, the richer the adornments, which consisted in intrincated embroidered patterns, feathered accessories and golden or shell beads. Besides, clothing was dyed in bright colours such as green, purple, blue, red or yellow. Mayan women wore a huipil ( rectangular piece of clothing) that was tucked into a skirt, whereas Mayan men used to put on a loincloth , sometimes accompanied with a sl...
