Fashion Influence: Baroque and Rococo
Fashion Influence: Baroque
Fashion Influence: Rococo
Rococo art and fashion is characterized by its still massive structures with a more refined, light, fanciful, and feminine touch to the dress. I thought the picture on the right to closely resemble the style of fashion from the Rococo era in its massive silhouette and in the delicate detailing. In addition to the hoop skirt and pastel color, the delicate detailing with the use of sleeves and rhinestones and lacey/tulle material allows for light, feminine touch opposite of the dramatic hand of the Baroque. (The dress depicted on the right is from the Christian Dior Fall/Winter 2007-2008 Collection) http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/12/fashion/12iht-FVERSAILLES12.html?_r=0 |
