Ancient Egyptian motifs became very popular after the discovery of King Tut's tomb; if you look at 20's and deco-era aesthetics you will see the themes often repeated.

Fashion is Anthropology.
About This Blog
"Fashion" is not Vogue magazine, designers, or trends. Fashion is and should be an important component of the lives of everyday people, and is an important source of history and culture for women in particular. Clothing is overlooked in history particularly because it has historically been a women's domain, but fashion is art, anthropology, culture, subculture, and part of our everyday lives. We shouldn't fear it, as we have been told to, but be enriched by it! Blah blah blah. Mostly this will be photos of clothing I have found. These photos are not mine. I am borrowing them for use. My "main" blog is Rip It To Shreds.

- I like 1930's dresses, Twin Peaks, celebrity gossip, and young adult fiction.
Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteWould like to contact you in some way with regard to this dress. I'm an Egyptologist/costume historian researching the Egyptian Revival in the history of dress, and this lovely specimen would be perfect to illustrate a point I'm making about the use of rishi or feather-motifs. Fingers crossed you can tell me something about its present whereabouts, perhaps you even bought it yourself? Very glad I stumbled upon your blog, will certainly regularly visit from now on. Hoping to hear from you soon, and with best wishes for the New Year!
