Georges Lepape, Denise Poiret, wife of the French fashion designer Paul Poiret, at The Thousand and Second Night Party, detail, 1911.
Paul Poiret styled his own persona after that of a sultan from “The Thousand and One Nights,” the theme of a bacchanal (“The Thousand and Second Night”) that, in 1911, the Poirets threw in the garden of their eighteenth-century mansion, on the Right Bank. Three hundred guests consumed nine hundred litres of champagne, while parrots and monkeys screeched in the shrubbery, and semi-nude black houris and jinns circulated with platters of exotic delicacies. Scheherazade’s tales had recently been translated into French by the Arabist Joseph-Charles Mardrus (whose bride, the bohemian writer Lucie Delarue, wore a cycling outfit to their wedding that may have inspired Poiret’s harem pants), and she was, in many respects, his paradoxical ideal woman: the slave girl as free spirit.

Working from an intimate knowledge of the Orient Jacqueline Ayer presents the contrasting costumes of the past and present. From her personal observation she has drawn the street clothes of today, presenting a vivid account of people seen walking or at their work; and for costumes of the past dynasties of India, China and Japan she has drawn upon the detailed records left by art. In this, the first comprehensive survey of Oriental costume through tha ages, areas as geographically and culturally separate as Bangkok and Himalayan villages are represented, ranging in time from the easrliest recorded cultures to the present day.  Twenty-eight full-colour plates reveal an arresting elegance of regal dress and theatrical costumes, and over 600 black and white drawings illustrate costume styles from figurine of the early Indus Valley civilization to modern Chinese industrialists and from the footwear of traditional Japanese society to the coats of nomadic tribes in North India

Miss Universe Philippines Davao Oriental 2023 National Costume: The Tree of Life
For the coconut farmers of Davao Oriental. The coconut industry is one of Davao Oriental’s biggest livelihoods, with almost 300,000 coconut farmers. It is called the tree of life because almost every single part can be used to sustain human life. Back in 2012, typhoon Pablo damaged over 6 million coconut trees in Davao Oriental. With this costume, we honor how Davao Oriental has revived the coconut industry, and advocate for the livelihood and wellbeing of coconut farmers

every newer gen kpoppy who calls it revolutionary every time a big name bg member wears something vaguely skirt-like should be required to watch lee sungjong of infinite putting his whole pussy into performing coming of age ceremony by park jiyoon wearing the song's classic form-fitting black side-slitted dress with zero gimmicks way back in 2012
#its Required Material re: historical kpop genderfuckery#no but im 100% for real. this was in the middle of the era where bg members doing gg songs in drag and whatnot was a really#common gag at concerts and in variety shows and whatnot- especially using bg members who were/are considered the most effeminate#basically it was a big Joke and never taken seriously. alot of the time the dances would be exaggerated and whatnot and yeah they#werent like. REAL covers. werent usually respectful of the original gg/female idol's work and all that. haha man in dress type humor#i know if you're old enough to be following me and into kpop you probably know this already and im talking into space but whatever#anyway. sungjong said fuck that and fucking killed it with a genuine live cover (dance And vocals) of coming of age ceremony#which- as you can imagine based on the title- isnt just an iconic female idol song but one that's blatantly about female sexuality#and whatnot. wore the dress that's in the original mv (or something very similar) and didnt play it up with a wig or anything like that#(like what's usually the case when male idols cover gg songs to make it more clear that its a Costume and they are Crossdressing rather tha#just. being a guy and wearing a dress.)#did not shy away from the sexiness of the dance AT ALL to the point of riding the floor at one point more or less which. god fucking damn#but anyway. it's totally true to the original and is unapologetically sexy in an inherently orientation-fucking gender-fucking way and GOD#wish it got more attention than it did because THAT is revolutionary. thats the first performance i ever saw where a male idol did a#female idol song in the original female idol outfit live without any gimmick or even the implication that it COUNTS as drag. its SUCH a#big deal imo. and it helps that its really fucking hot but thats neither here nor there. anyway. i know its been years but i still have so#many feelings and opinions about sungjong's coming of age ceremony performance ghfgjhdgfdh WATCH IT#sungjong#infinite#kibumblabs

1900 William Downey, Sarah Bernhardt in character as Theodora the Empress of Byzantium (Empress Theodora) in "Theodora: A Drama in Five Acts and Eight Tableau" (1885) by Victorien Sardou. Premiered: Theatre de la Porte Saint-Martin in Paris. 
Sardou's enthusiasm for historical authenticity was shared by his star. Weeks before ordering her costumes, she journed to Ravenna and stood long hours in the Church of San Vitale studying the magnificent mosaics with their startling portraits of Theodora and Justinian staring menacingly forth from barbaric gold. She made sketches of every robe, every fold, every detail or ornamentation. When she returned to Paris she had completed in detail a dressmaker's design for each outfit, as well as those for her stage jeweller, even to that death-dealing hairpin. Her wardrobe along cost more than the average production. Her costumer figured out that toiling in her work rooms she and her assistants had sewn on by hand more than 4,500 'gems'. (x)

A Pictorial History of Costume
Dorine Van Den Beukel
The Pepin Press, Amsterdam 2001, 22x28,3cm, ISBN 9054960469
euro 25,00
email if you want to buy [email protected]
The 500 colour illustrations in this book date from the 19th century. They show the attire of the people in various parts of the world at different points in history.
Dating from the nineteenth century, this book is a collection of handcoloured, engraving illustrations. Often times, costume history books stay within the boundaries of the European culture, failing the reader who may want to see what the Mongoloids wore while Josephine pranced around France in her empire gown. This book, unabashedly illustrates without bias, different cultures that existed around the world at the time. Indeed, a very beautiful and invaluable source of research.
