Research- Elizabethan Standing Collar or Medici Collar- 16/3/21
The Medici Collar is a type of ruff. It was worn at the end of the 16th and beginning of the 17th Centuries. While it was originally named after Catherine de Medici, most people associate it with Queen Elizabeth I of England. It’s typically high in the back and low in the front, and frames the face. Some were more similar to a ruff, some were more delicate. While this isn’t necessarily a style we see in streetwear, it’s definitely still something we see prevalent on the runway. In 2008, Iris Van Herpen created what was somewhat of a metal version of the standing collar, and it was also seen on the runway in 2005, with designs by Japanese designer Michiko Koshino. I particularly liked this lace example from the SETC Martin Izquendo Costume Craft Competition in 2014, created by Grace Mimbs Kora.
What I really love about the standing collar is how powerful it is. While it doesn’t really do anything to actually protect the wearer, it gives a radius around the wearers head and chest that is nearly untouchable, and evokes a feeling of power. It kind of reminds me of a Triceratops or a Frilled-neck lizard.
