Incroyable Ensemble | c. Late 1790s • • • By the end of the 1790s, gangs of young men grew tired of the slovenly dress of the sans-culottes and introduced a new revolutionary style. The incroyables, or “incredible ones,” were fashion extremists whose outrageous appearance, so different from their forefathers, illustrated the instability of the period. They roamed the streets of Paris wearing tight, extravagantly cut tail coats and cropped pants, often in conspicuous and clashing striped fabrics. This mannequin ensemble also clutches a fashionable twisted wooden walking stick known as a Hercules club, which doubled as a bludgeon to ward off political foes; in his hand he holds spying-glasses called lorgnettes. • • • #whattheywore #historicalfashion #fashion #fashiondesign #fashionhistory #historyoffashion #vintagefashion #art #vintage #historicfashion #defunctfashion #historicalfashion #costume #costumedesign #couture #costumehistory #lesincroyables #mensfashion #lacma

In the run up to the debut of John Galliano at Maison Martin Margiela on the 12th of January I have decided to do a 10 day Retrospective of his work.

First up, an very well known image in fashion of John's graduate show 'Les Incroyables" in the window of browns in 1984.

Day 12 of #millinerymaker We change the topic from #hatweek to #environment for us, since there is no such thing as a hat week in Germany. #Repost from @dirkseegmueller with @regram.app ... A little bit of thermoplastics arrived today 🎇🎩 I'm usually against the use of plastic, but in millinery you have the very best example why plastic is a good thing when it is used for the right things. It's not for throw away items, it's for hats that should last a very long time and in the best case will be given to the next generation. #millinery #milliner #modiste #couturemillinery #couture #hatmaker #hat #hats #lesincroyables #fun #thermoplastic #notalways #againstplastic #madetostay #slowfashion https://ift.tt/2mh8c0s

Dirk won the prize for the best interpretation of the theme at the millinery contest with his Kokedama hat @ateliermuseeduchapeau in chazellez sur Lyon. We absolutely loved it there and when you can make it, go and see the exhibition. https://ift.tt/2Mba4ne

Lilly Daché (1898-1989), one of the greatest milliners of the last century and still a huge inspiration for us. She wrote a really great book that you should absolutely read if you're interested in millinery and the time between 1930 and 1960: "Talking through my hats" (Picture source: life.com) #lesincroyables #hats #millinery #handmade #madeingermany #atelier #craftmanship #style #vintagefashion http://ift.tt/2v0hu6f

Day 21 of #millinerymaker - Theme #material It's summer here in Europe, so let's talk about straw. Many materials for hats, especially straw, are made entirely by hand. Fibres like buntal, abaca, wheat, banana,hemp, you name it, are harvested, time and labour intensive prepared and finally woven or braided. In most cases the process of weaving/braiding has to be done by hand. So if you buy a very cheap hat, it is either made out of a non natural material, or if it's a natural material, probably the people who had to make the materials of your hat have a very sad life. This doesn't mean that a material that hasn't been made by hand is always a bad one. There are many great alternatives like paper straw, which is basically paper cord with a coating, woven the same way like the natural materials, but by machine. Ask us if you want to know more things like this or if you have a specific question! #hats #modiste #milliner #millinery #hüte #studiolife #studio #atelier #lesincroyables #love #hataddict #love #headwear #blogger #womenswear #styleblogger #fashionblogger #laugh #infopost #handmade #millinerycouture #whomademyclothes #straw #sewingstraw #mode #mypassion #ethic https://ift.tt/2A7MTYQ

Day 14 of #millinerymaker - Theme #trim Our trimmings are always handmade. Sometimes the trimming is not just a decoration, but the most important part of a hat. #hats #modiste #milliner #millinery #hüte #studiolife #studio #atelier #lesincroyables #love #hataddict #love #headwear #blogger #womenswear #styleblogger #fashionblogger #laugh #menswear #handmade #millinerycouture #madebyme #ascot #moda #mode #mypassion #pictureperfect #handmade https://ift.tt/2uCP3tv
