This Is How We Started

As in womenswear, early 17th century menswear styles maintained the basic features of late 16th century dress. However, come the 1610s romantic adornments and embellishments really started to explode in popularity. Rosettes were added to shoes, lace trimmed collars and cuffs, and sashes became a way to signify group membership in an era before military uniforms. While women's fashion became fuller, men's styles slimmed further and further until the silhouette was far removed from the boxy shape of the 1500s.

“The client’s only request was that their home should feel like a desert tent, and that it’s colors should be inspired by the wife’s favorite nail polish - a brilliant shade of desert plum.”
