Fashion in the Time of Jane Austen Paperback / softback
by Sarah Jane Downing
Part of the Shire Library series
Paperback / softback
Description
The broader Regency period 1795 to 1820, stands alone as an incredible moment in fashion history, unlike anything that went before it.
For the first time, England became a fashion influence, especially for menswear, and became the toast of Paris, as court dress became secondary to the season-by-season flux of fashion as we know it today.
Sarah Jane Downing explores the fashion revolution and the innovation that inspired a flood of fashions taking influence from far afield.
It was an era of contradiction immortalised by Jane Austen, who adeptly used the new-found diversity of fashion to enliven her characters: Wickham's military splendour; Mr Darcy's understated elegance; and Miss Tilney's romantic fixation with white muslin.
