More old fashion

By on woensdag, april 08, 2009
No camera so I'll post another amazing piece of fashion history.
Today menswear, Of course I love dresses, but these jackets are really worth it, the details are so fabulous.


Man's suit (coat, waistcoat, and breeches)
Wine-red wool, coat and waistcoat decorated with gold braid and buttons wrapped with gold threads, sleeved waistcoat, jabot of Valenciennes laces, sleeve ruffles of Binche lace.
1740
English


Aren't those buttons amazing?


Man's suit (habit à la francaise)
Three-piece set of coat, waistcoat, and breeches, coat and waistcoat of stripped Lyons silk brocade, embroidered with sequins ans mirror beads, waistcoat in silk cannelé, self-fabric-wrapped buttons.
1780
French

Balmain sucks when you see this. Nobody can do this any more.

Hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I do. I've got 2 books with more than 300 pages, so I keep posting "old fashion".

Anna
