Join Cosprop Costumier Amy Eloise Trend for an illuminating journey through fifty transformative years of men’s fashion.
Join Cosprop Costumier Amy Eloise Trend for an illuminating journey through fifty transformative years of men’s fashion. This talk explores the dramatic shift from the opulent, embellished styles of the 1780s, to the refined elegance of Regency tailoring, to the romantic and manipulated silhouettes of the 1830s.
Discover how coats, waistcoats, breeches, trousers, neckwear, hats, and footwear evolved to shape the foundations of modern menswear. Amy will delve into the cultural influences behind these iconic looks—from the flamboyant fop to the understated dandy—and examine the fabrics, cuts, and details that defined each era.
Perfectly complementing our exhibition Costume Couture: Sixty Years of Cosprop, this talk reveals fascinating connections between historical menswear and costumes featured in productions such as Jefferson in Paris, Onegin, and various Jane Austen adaptations.
