EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning collection of headwear worn by English women during the 15th and 16th centuries. The intricately designed hats and headdresses offer a glimpse into the rich and varied fashion culture of the time. In the foreground, a woman wears a wimple, a long linen cloth that was wrapped around the neck and chin, and secured under the chin with a brooch. This simple yet elegant accessory was often paired with a veil, which was worn over the wimple and secured at the back of the head. To the left, another woman dons a crespine, a tall, conical hat with a narrow brim that was popular during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. The crespine was often adorned with ribbons, flowers, or other decorative elements. In the center, a woman wears a horned headdress, a distinctive style that was believed to symbolize fertility and prosperity. The headdress was made of fabric or leather, with horns that were often tipped with metal or other materials. To the right, a woman wears a templer, a tall, cylindrical hat that was worn with a veil draped over the top. The templer was often decorated with ribbons, lace, or other embellishments. In the background, a woman wears a frette, a simple turban-style headdress that was wrapped around the head and secured with a ribbon or pin. The frette was often worn with a veil or other headcovering. This selection of headwear provides a fascinating glimpse into the fashion trends and cultural traditions of English women during the 15th and 16th centuries. The intricate designs and materials used in these hats and headdresses reflect the creativity and craftsmanship of the time, and offer a window into the past that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
