EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Himation" a garment worn in Greece and Rome between 550 B. C. and 300 A. D. The image is taken from the book "Costume & Fashion - The Evolution of European Dress Through the Earlier Ages" by Herbert Norris, published in 1924. In this portrait, we see a woman elegantly draped in the himation, a flowing cloak that was an integral part of ancient Greek and Roman attire. The timeless beauty of this garment is highlighted by its monochrome depiction, allowing us to appreciate its intricate folds and graceful drape. The photograph transports us back to ancient times when women would have adorned themselves with such garments as they moved through their daily lives or attended important events. It serves as a testament to the enduring influence of classical fashion on contemporary styles. Herbert Norris's illustration captures not only the physicality of the himation but also evokes a sense of mystery surrounding the wearer. With her fan delicately held in hand, she exudes poise and elegance while maintaining an air of enigma. This print offers us a glimpse into history, reminding us of how clothing can transcend time and geography to become an essential element in defining cultural identity. It invites contemplation about our own relationship with fashion today and how it continues to shape our understanding of ourselves and others across continents and centuries.
