Georgian Couture

Both Angelina's Cafe and Portrait of a Lady have posted these gorgeous photos, but I had to share the wealth and enjoy them gracing my site as well. Plus it's nice to have some good modeling after all those bad Halloween costume pictures. Honestly, I am surprised I have missed these spreads before! These were from a photo shoot by Steven Meisel and appeared in Vogue Italia 2005. See more here and here. Enjoy!

    Lovely hairstyles, to say the least. But I would never leave the house on time for work if I had to rat my hair that high and add all that powder!

    This is how ladies' maids were kept employed. Sighs for a bygone era where I might've worn stuff like that. No, wait a second, I'm brown and from the Subcontinent. So I'd have been wearing beaver hats, low-waisted and full-skirted kameezes and leggings-style pants underneath, most hopefully in the Mughal Court. Sighs again.

    for the fun of comparing different fashions around the world, though this is 17th centure, this is supposedly Empress Mumtaz Mahal: http://images.exoticindiaart.com/mughal/mumtaz_mahal_mg02.jpg.
