Conical Damsel Fancy Headdress Hennin Mediaeval Pointy Steeple Veil Worn 14th
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an exquisite example of medieval fancy dress fashion from the late 14th century, specifically the French Hennin or steeple headdress, dating back to the 1930s. The Hennin, a symbol of high status and elegance during the medieval period, is characterized by its tall, pointed conical shape that resembles a steeple or a bishop's mitre. The model in this photograph dons the Hennin with an intricately designed veil, adding an air of mystery and allure to her regal appearance. The veil, which covers the wearer's hair and falls gracefully over the shoulders, is adorned with delicate lace and embroidery, enhancing the overall grandeur of the ensemble. The Hennin, which gained popularity among the French aristocracy during the late 14th century, was often worn for formal occasions and ceremonial processions. This fashion statement was a testament to the opulence and extravagance of the medieval court, where fashion was a powerful tool to display wealth and social status. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, offers a glimpse into the rich history of medieval fashion and the enduring appeal of the Hennin. The intricate details of the costume, from the pointed hat to the flowing veil, transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and sophistication of a bygone era.
