EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 11th century and experience the grandeur of Norman fashion as depicted in this intricately detailed print from Mary Evans Prints Online. The image showcases both men and women donning the distinctive attire of the Normans, an influential civilization that brought about significant cultural changes to Europe. The men are seen wearing embroidered super-tunics, characterized by their voluminous sleeves that often reached the ground. These tunics were typically made from wool or linen and were adorned with intricate designs, often featuring geometric patterns or hunting scenes. A mantle, a long, flowing cloak, was worn over the tunic, secured with a cord at the neck. Completing the look was a Phrygian cap, a tall, conical hat that was a symbol of high status. The women, on the other hand, wore kirtles, long, fitted undergarments, and tunics. The kirtles were often made from linen and were worn close to the body, while the tunics were loose and flowing, reaching the ankles. A mantle was also worn by women, draped over one shoulder and secured with a cord. A veil or Phrygian bonnet completed the ceremonial dress of Norman women. This print also features an Anglo cloak, a shorter version of the mantle, rolled up and held in the hand of one of the men, suggesting a scroll or document being read. The Norman influence on European fashion is evident in the intricate details and grandeur of these garments, which continue to captivate our imagination and inspire modern fashion designers.
