The Italian Renaissance woman's wardrobe was a canvas for displaying wealth and social status.

The Italian Renaissance was the 'rebirth' of Classical values in art that influenced artistic thought for the next five hundred years.


We're talking sumptuous velvets, silks, and brocades that were fashioned into gowns featuring tight-fitting bodices and voluminous skirts.


This period, spanning from the 14th to the 17th century, brought about profound changes in various aspects of society, including fashion. The Renaissance marked a departure from the rigid and somber clothing styles of the Middle Ages, giving rise to a new era of opulence, individualism, and creative expression


In 1520-1529, men and women both began to wear shirts with high standing collars ending in a frill at the neck and cuff, which would later evolve into the ruff. Dark colors continued to grow in popularity, as did everything oversize, among them: codpieces, gown sleeves, and elaborate headdresses.
