"Casaque: A Glimpse into the Fashion of the Past" Step back in time and immerse yourself in the enchanting world of "casaque, " a term that encompasses various styles throughout history. From grand evening dresses to linen outfits, this captivating attire has left its mark on different eras. In one instance, picture John II, also known as the Beau, Duke of Alencon. Comrade of Joan of Arc and a prominent figure in the 15th century, he dons a stunning silver brocade dress with intricate blue wig and feathers. This handcoloured lithograph by Leopold Massard showcases his regal presence. On another page from history's fashion diary, we encounter a man from the people during the same era. He wears a casaque or cassock over a surtout and hose - an ensemble captured beautifully by Leopold Massard's artistry once again, and is fascinating to witness how fashion transcends social classes. Moving forward in time but still within this realm wonders, we find ourselves admiring women's attire from 1913. One woman stands out in her linen dress with double tunic made from embroidered tulle; she pairs it with a little casaque jacket lined with satin - an elegant combination fit for any occasion. Meanwhile, porcelain designs for tableware take center stage alongside another woman dressed in simplicity yet gracefulness - wearing a short-sleeved top and white skirt. These contrasting images remind us that beauty can be found both in elaborate details and minimalist aesthetics. As our journey continues through these visual narratives, we stumble upon a woman wrapped luxuriously in chinchilla fur coat while holding onto a lampstand - exuding sophistication at every step. But not all moments captured are about opulence; some depict leisurely activities like swimming by the sea accompanied by curious crabs.
