The Crinkled Chiton and the Chlamys (left); The Chiton (right), 1924
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the evolution of European dress through various ages. Created by Herbert Norris, this illustration is taken from his book "Costume & Fashion - The Evolution of European Dress Through the Earlier Ages", published in 1924. The image features two men dressed in ancient Greek attire, representing both the 6th century BC and the fashion trends of the early 20th century. On the left, we see a man wearing a crinkled chiton and holding a lyre, symbolizing music's significance in ancient Greece. He also adorns himself with a chlamys, an elegant cloak draped over one shoulder. On the right side of the print stands another man donning a traditional chiton, showcasing simplicity and gracefulness in its design. Both individuals wear sandals on their feet, highlighting ancient Greek footwear. Herbert Norris skillfully captures these historical costumes with intricate patterns and vibrant colors such as purple and white. The outdoor setting adds to the authenticity of this portrayal while providing context for how these garments were worn outside. This print not only serves as an artistic representation but also offers valuable insights into Europe's rich sartorial heritage. It reminds us of our connection to past civilizations while appreciating their contributions to contemporary fashion aesthetics.
