THE TOMBOY STYLE - FROM EARLY 900's UNTILL NOW

The gender-bending was broken almost a century ago, thanks to young and strong women like Coco Chanel and Marlene Dietrich. Since then many women start to wear men's clothes and we remember many past icons to date whose style is characterized by wearing men's clothes. From Jean Seaberg, Diane Keaton, Lauren Hutton to the recent looks of Cara Delavigne and Kristen Stewart. The idea that there are girl activities and clothing, and that there are boy activities and clothing, is often reinforced by the tomboy concept. Tomboyism can be seen as both refusing gender roles and traditional gender conventions, but also conforming to gender stereotypes. As for fashion, tomboy style never goes out of style, but there will always be a tomboy style that characterizes an era.

OCHRE IN FASHION

The major ingredient of this ancient natural colour is iron oxide-hydroxide, known as limonite, which gives it its yellow colour. The hue belongs to a family of earth pigments, it ranges in colour from yellow to deep orange or brown. Ochre is a family of earth pigments, which includes yellow ochre, red ochre, purple ochre, sienna, and umber. From the Red Indians to the Romans, to modern day trendsetters, Ochre has enduring appeal. Ochre was used in decorative palette of the Romans, as well as Medieval Church painters. The Aboriginals have painted with Ochres for over 40 000 years and the Red Indians took their name from the Red Ochre they painted themselves with.

60's BROCADE TOP


Brocade is a precious fabric worked with a jacquard weave, characterized by interwoven patterns in relief, often in gold and silver. The manufacture of brocade began in China around 400 A.C. Dating back to the Middle Ages, brocade fabric was one of the few luxury fabrics worn by nobility throughout China, India, Persia, Greece, Japan, Korea and Byzantium. Brocades were also an important fabric during the Renaissance, and especially the Italian Renaissance.The complexity and high quality of luxurious silk fabrics caused Italy to become the most important and superior manufacturer of the finest silk fabrics for all of Europe. The almost sculptural lines of the fashions during the Renaissance were paired perfectly with the exquisite beauty and elegance of brocade, damask, and other superior silk textiles.

Il Broccato è una preziosa stoffa lavorata con tessitura a jacquard, caratterizzata da disegni intessuti a rilievo, spesso in oro e argento. La produzione di Broccato inizia in Cina intorno al 400 d.C. Risalente al Medioevo, il tessuto in broccato era uno dei pochi tessuti di lusso indossati dalla nobiltà in Cina, India, Persia, Grecia, Giappone, Corea e Bisanzio. I broccati erano anche un tessuto importante durante il Rinascimento, e specialmente il Rinascimento italiano. La complessità e l'alta qualità dei lussuosi tessuti di seta fecero sì che l'Italia diventasse il più importante e superiore produttore dei migliori tessuti di seta per tutta l'Europa. Le linee quasi scultoree delle mode durante il Rinascimento erano perfettamente abbinate alla bellezza e all'eleganza raffinate di broccato, damasco e altri tessuti di seta di qualità superiore.
