EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from the late 16th century showcases the elegant and ornate fashion of French and English ladies wearing elaborate ruffs. The ruff, a distinctive collar worn around the neck, was a popular accessory during this period, symbolizing wealth and status. The ruffs were often made from starched linen or silk, and could be worn in various shapes and sizes, from simple flat collars to complex, pleated structures. In this photograph, we see two women adorned in the most extravagant ruffs of the time. The English lady on the left wears a high, conical ruff, known as a supportasse, which is held up by a wire or wire-reinforced fabric. Her ruff is adorned with intricate lace and pearls, adding an air of opulence and refinement. The French lady on the right wears a more rounded, voluminous ruff, which is supported by a series of wire loops. Her ruff is also adorned with lace and pearls, but features a more natural, flowing shape. The ruff was not only a fashion statement, but also a practical accessory. It helped to keep the neck and chest warm in the drafty castles and grand houses of the time, and could be easily removed for more comfortable wear during meals or other less formal occasions. The intricate designs and materials used in creating these ruffs were a testament to the skill and artistry of the seamstresses and lacemakers of the period. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of fashion during the late 16th century, a time when extravagance and elegance were prized above all else. The ruffs worn by these ladies are a reminder of the importance of self-expression and the role that fashion plays in reflecting the culture and values of a particular time and place.
