Happy Columbus Day Guys and Dolls!!!!!!!!!!! Whether this is a celebratory day or not is not today's discussion..... *deep breath* This Columbus Day, let's simply celebrate the fashion of that time!
Quick History Lesson....
"Fashion in 15th century Europe was characterized by a series of extremes and extravagances, from the voluminous gowns called houppelandes with their sweeping floor-length sleeves to the revealing doublets and hose of Renaissance Italy. Hats, hoods, and other headdresses assumed increasing importance, and were swagged, draped, jewelled, and feathered."(Click Here For More )
Annnddd...we're back..
What a glorious time it was in fashion during the 14th and 15th centuries, it is obvious they took pride in their attire. Historians describe it as a time when the clothing you wore actually "made" you, perhaps, with
made meaning having you behave and feel a certain way. Hence the saying that "the clothes make the man." I've gathered a few pictures for your viewing pleasure....ENJOY!!!

Never really paid attention right?! The next time you get a chance to watch a period film [period film: A period film is a film that attempts to faithfully depict a specific
time period. The period film has dramatically improved with
advancements in film making, such as the ability to replicate better
