EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back to the mid-15th century, specifically around 1450, during the height of the Burgundian fashion trend in Europe. The elegantly dressed men in this print showcase the opulence and grandeur of the Burgundian style, which was popular among the wealthy and royalty of the time. At the center, a man wears a hat adorned with a burlet, a decorative rosette made of fabric or feathers, adding a touch of sophistication to his attire. He dons a doublet, a fitted jacket with puffed over-sleeves, creating a voluminous and majestic appearance. The doublet is also adorned with pleats or ermine trim, adding an air of luxury and nobility. Another man in the print wears a jerkin, a shorter jacket with hanging sleeves, which were often worn as an outer layer. His hose, or tight-fitting breeches, are visible beneath the jerkin, and he wears piked shoes, also known as cracowes or piked buskins. These shoes were characterized by their pointed toes and tall, vertical heels, adding height and elegance to the wearer's silhouette. The third man in the print is shown with a houppelande, a long, flowing gown that was popular in France during this period. He also wears a dog as a pet, a common accessory among the wealthy and noble. The intricate details of their clothing, from the pleats and ermine trim to the puffed sleeves and piked shoes, demonstrate the extravagance and attention to detail that was characteristic of the Burgundian fashion trend during this time. Overall, this image offers a glimpse into the rich and elaborate fashion of the 15th century, showcasing the opulence and grandeur of the Burgundian style. The men in the print exude confidence and sophistication, making this a truly captivating and intriguing image from the past.
