Robe: May 1667

Uittreksel

Welcome to 'Robe' - the fashion magazine the world has been waiting for, for the last 350 years, and your handy introduction to all that's best in seventeenth-century haute-couture. Just as today, the London of the 1660s had a passion for fashion, such that this period saw the birth of the first fashion magazines. 'Robe' celebrates this glossiest of cultural landmarks, and is your guide to the most important features in the fashion of the day, as illustrated by a wealth of exquisite portraits and works of art from the Royal Collection, and many rare if not unique surviving examples of clothing of the period. Allow our celebrity commentators - including the noted trendsetter, Margaret Cavendish, the noted fop, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, and our expert analysts Professor Aileen Ribeiro, Anna Reynolds and Georgina Ripley, to talk you through all the latest fashion and beauty tips.
