EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a Frenchwoman from the late 16th century, circa 1576, during the reign of Henri III. The fashionable attire of this elegant lady features an intriguing novelty - upraised gauze wings, or ruffs, framing her head. These wings, which were a popular addition to elaborate party gowns during this period, added an air of grandeur and sophistication. The ruff, a high, starched collar, was a staple of the Elizabethan and early Jacobean eras in Europe. However, the upraised gauze wings were a unique innovation that set this Frenchwoman apart from her contemporaries. The wings, made of delicate and translucent gauze material, were supported by a structure, often made of wire or reeds, which allowed them to be raised and held in place. The wings served not only as a fashion statement but also as a functional accessory. They could be used as fans to keep cool during hot parties or to shield the face from the sun. The upraised wings also provided an element of mystery and allure, as they concealed the wearer's face partially, adding an air of intrigue and excitement. This Frenchwoman's gown, with its voluminous skirts and intricate embroidery, further emphasizes the opulence and grandeur of the era. The intricate details of the gown, from the delicate lacework to the rich fabrics, reflect the wealth and status of the wearer. This image is a fascinating glimpse into the world of fashion and costume during the reign of Henri III. The upraised gauze wings of this Frenchwoman's ruff are a testament to the creativity and innovation of the time, and serve as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of fashion throughout the ages.
