1795 Adopted Aristocrats Extravagant Fashions Merveilleuses Incroyables
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the extravagant fashions of the Merveilleuses, a group of women who adopted elaborate and opulent costumes in a derisive emulation of the aristocrats of 18th century France. The Merveilleuses, also known as the Incroyables, were known for their bold and daring fashion choices that pushed boundaries and challenged societal norms.
In this image, we see both men and women dressed in historically accurate attire from 1795, with men sporting exaggerated tailcoats and top hats while women don flowing gowns adorned with intricate details. The level of detail in these costumes is truly remarkable, capturing the essence of French fashion during this tumultuous period in history.
The contrast between the extravagance of these outfits and the underlying mockery towards the aristocracy is palpable in this image. It serves as a reminder of how fashion can be used as a form of rebellion and social commentary, reflecting the political climate and cultural shifts of its time.
Overall, this print offers a glimpse into a fascinating moment in history when clothing was not just about style but also about making a statement. It is a testament to the creativity and resilience of individuals who dared to defy convention through their sartorial choices.
