Victorian Era Flashback and Inspires




Victorian Era includes the years of 1837-1901. Queen Vicky ruled during this period and her reign left a lasting impression in almost all things that pertained to life. Including furniture feet. 

Fashion: Silhouettes are one of my favorite part of fashion! Although they're hard to spell, but easy to spot! Women at the time seemed to have giant behinds. They believed it made them more "S" shaped. Sounds familiar? Now people want to look like an hourglass! Will it ever stop?

Here are some elaborate dresses and materials to muse upon and be inspired about. everything was so frilly! I like a man in suits though.

In this Korean creation of clothing, the lace was used as light trimming mixed with some delicate fabrics and subtle colors. Some masculine pieces were also used to create a type of unexpected balance too.

Ohh LaLa

The Maasai Fashion Inspiration












Fashion: Masaai clothing is quite historic. Drapes and ties are the main part of their apparel. Many red carpet dresses take part in the legacy of the single shouldered ensembles. 





Background: The Masaai people are a semi-nomadic group that live in the area of Kenya and Tanzania. Many continue to practice their culture in todays world; surviving and even thriving in their East African climates. Physically, they are beautifully lanky and ebony skinned.
Plaid and Red is much preferred!
