EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back to the fifteenth century in France, where the noblemen of the time donned extravagant attire as a symbol of their wealth and status. Circa 1425, this print captures the distinctive fashion of the era, characterized by fur-lined and edged houppelandes or gowns. These voluminous garments were worn over doublets, creating a layered effect that accentuated the wearer's silhouette. Hanging sleeves, a popular feature of the time, were suspended from the shoulders and reached down to the ground, often adorned with intricate embroidery or fur trimmings. A pouch or bag was suspended from a wide belt, providing a practical means for carrying essentials. Hats, typically featuring burlets or conical crowns, completed the ensemble. The nobleman in this print is also seen wearing a girdle, which held up his hose or stockings, and a liripipe, a long, pointed hood that could be worn over the hat or chaperon. The chaperon, a round, hooded cloak, was a versatile accessory that could be worn in various ways, offering both protection from the elements and a fashionable touch. This print offers a glimpse into the opulent world of the French nobility during the fifteenth century, a time when fashion was an expression of power and prestige. The intricate details of the garments, from the fur trimmings to the embroidery, serve as a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the era.
