Alazar's Panty Peeks by Alazar
The history of shaping the body through clothing played an important part in the evolution of fashion for hundreds of years. In Europe specifically, changes in fashion were always aligned with the changes to the cuts of clothing and outline of the human body. The Bavarian National Museum in Munich, known as one of the most important museums of decorative arts, hosted an international conference to showcase the undergarments that have shaped fashionable silhouettes from the Middle-Ages to the 21st century.Structuring Fashion is a culmination of this conference and the presentation of the extremely rare world-famous pair of silk bodies worn by Countess Palatine Dorothea Sabina around 1598 that was highlighted at the event. This volume highlights the narrow waists that were achieved by laced bodices and corsets, and the intricate detailing of hoop and crinoline petticoats with 120 rich illustrations of original items. The images are accompanied by insightful essays that chronicle the history behind the clothing.
