Rococo

The era of costume in which I am particularly interested in is the Rococo period in the 18th century.
 I enjoy this period of costume as it is extravagant for woman and men and the costumes worn were always highly designed with colourful fabrics and accessories. 


Mens fashion in the 18th century the image above would be the height of manliness when it comes to male fashion in this era. This shows how the view on when the modern males take on 'Manliness' is compared to the 18th century. 

Love the embroidery in which is placed on both velvet jackets. This would be typically worn by a wealthy man in the 18th century.




Women's fashion was also highly extravagant and daring with large dresses and even larger wigs and beautiful head pieces to go with it
