Fashions under 'The Directory' 1798 - The Incroyables
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Gustave Dore takes us back to the year 1798, during the time of "The Directory" in France. Known for their extravagant and eccentric style, the Incroyables were a group of fashionable men who embraced bold fashion choices with a touch of humor. In this humorous illustration, we see these dapper gentlemen parading through the streets with exaggerated headdresses and comically oversized hats. Their attire is a delightful blend of historical costume and contemporary fashion trends, creating an amusing spectacle that captures the essence of this era. Dore's satirical drawing skillfully depicts both the absurdity and creativity behind these fashions. It serves as a scathing satire on society's obsession with appearance and highlights how fashion can be used as a form of self-expression and entertainment. As we delve into this piece, we are transported to a world where art meets history. The intricate details in each character's outfit showcase Dore's mastery as an artist and engraver. This work not only provides insight into French culture during that period but also offers us a glimpse into European fashion trends at large. Through its wit and charm, this print reminds us that even in times past, people found joy in dressing up and pushing boundaries when it came to personal style. It serves as a testament to our timeless fascination with fashion throughout history.
