Renaissance clothes analysis by using 3 principles of design
Renaissance is the period that
education is for everyone. People pay attention to studying and so does
fashion. This is the period that could be say that excessiveness in all areas
of costume began. According to Scott R. Robinson site, regardless of the
England and France followed Italy’s lead while they stuck to more medieval
influenced styles. Germans went to the greatest extremes making “improvements”
on the natural silhouette. They put large puffs at the head, shoulders, thighs;
small puffs, like boils, over chest, back, arms, legs and fee. They put
feathers on their costume, their cloth. This essay will analyze Renaissance
clothes using 3 principles of design, which are material, comparison, and
proportion.
First is material, the material of Renaissance
are wool, fur, silk, cotton, satin, and flannels. And for accessory, this
period jewelry is available although gold and silver. Another accessory is wig,
which is crafted from peasant’s hair, is been used. Color of fabric this period
is very strong for example red blue or black. White linen was another accent
against color of gold and burgundy of collars and wrist ruffles. Black velvet
was a staple fabric of the period, especially in headdresses. Mostly people the
period are dressed in dark hot tone. And they put silver of gold color of
thread to add pattern. And off course fabric that has pattern on itself is
quiet popular too.
Second is comparison. Fashion
represented a big status symbol during the Renaissance. The wealthy were
literally “wearing their wealth” as the expensive clothing helped establish a
reputation of wealth for the owner. It was usually the wealthy or ruling class
that drove Renaissance fashion. However, one very popular fashion trend, the
technique of slashing was originated within the lower classes or commoners. The
beret was also invented during these times. They were highly decorated by
either jewels or embroidery. And fabric are separated the rich and poor too.
The upper class reserved silk for themselves, and in some areas, peasants were
forbidden to possess it. Wealthy will wear furs, elaborate belts, and wigs.
Third is proportion, Renaissance
clothes. For men, their upper body is usually decorated with lots of thing,
many layers of fabric. And lower body they wore only thin tight trouser. The
proportion of the outfit is like upside down triangle. For women their upper
body is decorated with lots of thing and many layers of fabric as men, lower
body is puffy long skirt, Their waist is strap with belt. Proportion of women
cloth is like hourglass
