HISTORICAL AND ARTISTIC STYLES


Rococo Era

Rococo Era is expressed through out this dress by the low revealing neckline and embellishments on the front.

Designed by Forisbella.



Renaissance Era

(purple dress in the middle)


Even though this dress is much shorter then any of gowns of that time it still represents this era. It is shown through draping of the fabric through out the dress and over the shoulder.


Designed by Givenchy.




Romantic Era

(Pink dress)
This era stood out to me with this dress because of the sleeves. Very similar to the "leg of mutton" sleeves.

Designed by Dior.



Baroque Era

These dresses represent this era through their extravagant silhouettes. Another thing this era had was high waistlines which is shown with the dress on the right.

Designs by Dior





NEOCLASSIC ERA

This dress represents this era through its empire waist and layering fabrics. Through out this era it was mostly sheer fabrics that were layered but in this dress they had the layers tucked under and revealed in the front only.

Designed by Balenciaga





Gothic Era

"Dark tones translated the opacity of the tinted glass of stained- glass windows" This dress represented the Gothic era because of the black satin like material and unique look.

Designed by Chanel
