I'll try to redraw my character cards. I hope I can keep them in a consistent style.

The wide silhouette of the early century started to slim come the mid century, and it slimmed even more so come the 1770s. Style in general was becoming more simplified, leading to fashion that exemplified the new 'casual' aesthetic. The habit à la française came into mode for men, showcasing the standing collar that would carry over into the early 1800s. The front skirt of the coat started being cut back, exposing the front of the breeches. This resulted in waistcoats becoming shorter and breeches becoming tighter to exaggerate the new silhouette. In direct contrast to this move toward simplicity, dandies outfitted themselves in eye-catching and visually lavish ensembles. Their style loudly announced their cosmopolitan, fashion-centric outlook, and their sartorial choices blurred the line between masculine and feminine.

We've now finally hit the point in the historical timeline where I can represent my home country! While the early white settlement of Australia is typically associated with the convicts that were shipped to penal colonies in the newly discovered country, by the late 1700s free settlers were also making it home. Many of these settlers built homesteads and farmed the land for survival. It was a tough life and their practical clothing reflected as such.

The end of the 18th century saw a great deal of political unrest, most notably in France. The French Revolution had a huge impact on clothing as it became increasingly important to outwardly show your republican support via your stylistic choices. Waistcoats were still very much a part of a man's everyday wardrobe, and often times they were decorated to show political sympathies. The 1790s saw the rise of the sans-culottes - working class men who shunned the wearing of breeches in favour of loose trousers. These were often paired with a red wool cap known as a bonnet phrygian, which signified the wearer's hardcore dedication to the revolution. CC links under the cut.

The middle of the 1700s was dense with military conflict - the Jacobite Rising, King George's War, French & Indian War, and Seven Years War to name just a few. The advent of military uniforms in the late 17th century saw even further growth due to these conflicts. Armies now had distinct military garb, as did the ranks within them. As for the fashion side of historical costuming - while France maintained its internationally renowned reputation for ostentatious Rococo extravagance, England and America adhered to the more subdued Georgian standards of dress.

Banyans became popular for men to wear in the comfort of their own home as a form of undress or déshabillé. These dressing gowns were roomy t-shaped garments and those with wealth donned banyans made from extravagant brocade decorated with fruits and florals. One quirky influence upon fashion was the Commedia Dell'Arte, a theatrical form with origins in Italy. The colourful, distinctive costumes of the performers were widely depicted in art and were frequently worn by non-performers for masquerade, which in and of itself was a rising cultural phenomenon in the 1700s.

Frederician Rococo Salon

After a long break, I’m excited to share my newest set with you: the Frederician Rococo Salon! It is inspired by the palaces of King Frederick II of Prussia. Rooted in French Rococo, the Frederician Rococo evolved into a distinct style of its own, characterized by a dissolution of lines and a fusion with nature.

The set includes 24 new objects and 14 wall elements:

Frederician Rococo furniture and panelling are combined with decorative objects in the Louis XV style, as well as four rugs from the Savonnerie manufactory.

For most of the 18th century fashion was all about excess and one popular method of adding ostentatious detail were neck accessories. By the 1720s the jabot - a stiffened band with lace or muslin gathered onto it to create a cascading bib - became the accessory du jour for fashionable men. High heeled shoes were all the rage, with red coloured heels reserved for the aristocracy and French court. The square toe of the previous century gave way to a new rounder, lighter style. Buckles reflected the taste and spending power of the wearer. CC links and reference images under the cut.

As in the century preceding it, headwear for men was a major component of 18th century fashion. The tricorn, or cocked hat, was hugely popular among both military and civilian men. Caps were another common style, with working class men wearing the knitted variety and upper class men wearing a 'night cap' as a form of undress when not donning their wigs. The bonnet phrygian or bonnet rouge was a sartorial signifier worn by hardcore revolutionaries in the latter part of the 1700s, with the red colour representing liberty and equality.

Carrying over from the late 1600s, the wig was the hairstyle du jour for men of the 18th century. For most of the 1700s either natural or white hair colour were favoured. White wigs were the most expensive and sought after, so powdering one's own hair became the fad to give the illusion of wealth. Fun fact: this is where the term "powder room" comes from, as powdering hair required a separate room to contain the mess. CC links and reference images under the cut.

In the early century wigs for men were long and flowing, but come the mid century hair tied back, often with curls covering the ears, became the trend. Styles became shorter and tighter as time progressed, until long hair completely went out of style by the end of the century. CC links and reference images under the cut.
