Cape Chaperon Closed Cone Fronts Gowns Hanging Headdress Hood Liripipe Officials Pleated Shaped Shoulder Sleeves Strutt Tabard Wear 15th Officers
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th century print depicts a group of state officers, each dressed in the grandeur and elegance of the era. The officers' attire, known as houppelandes, were long gowns that were a symbol of power and authority during this time. The garments featured pleated fronts, adding volume and texture to the garments, while some had closed hanging sleeves that reached the ground. One officer is seen wearing a huke, a long robe with a wide opening at the front, a shoulder cape, and a hood, which was a common feature of high-ranking officials' costumes. Another officer wears a chaperon, a large hood with a wide brim, and a cone-shaped hat, known as a liripipe, which was a distinctive headdress of the period. The tabards, worn underneath the gowns, added a splash of color and contrast to the monochromatic outfits. These state officers, with their impressive attire and regal bearing, exuded an air of power and importance, reflecting the grandeur and splendor of the 15th century.
