Gustav Klimt’s soft pink brushstrokes conjure up a dress similar to our silk plissé bodice in his 1897-1898 portrait of Sonja Knips. When cataloguing the bodice from our reference collection, we were immediately reminded of it. #gustavklimt #klimtandfashion #historyoffashion #1890sfashion

In the 1890s, the world turned purple. Known as "The Mauve Decade," this era was defined by a specific shade of violet that took over everything from fashion gowns to everyday style.

Stop the presses! What shining beauties do we have here? 😍

1890s gold kid ladies boots embroidered with faux marcasite and faceted gold metallic seed beads. Gold shank buttons.

I would love to see the outfit worn with these!

Gold boots that rise to above the ankle, partway up the shin. Diamond cutouts start near the toe and rise to the top of the boot. Incredibly decadent.

They are doomed something. Unrequited love but this ain’t about that.
Mini poodle says she loves the flowers. She’s ginger, wearing a sunhat, and 1890s blue dress. The sheep-bunny is beaming with a smile and blush. There’s a thought bubble showing the mini poodle has several questions regarding his intentions with her. Romance? Friendship? Are they her childhood friend? Same picture, but an image of dorky SpongeBob making a similar expression is plastered over the sheep-bunny’s face.

"Mariana of Porto"
Portrait of a woman with a high headpiece and large bow at the collar. Late 19th-century fashion, Kingdom of Portugal. #embossing #handmade #repousse #metalrelief #fashionhistory, #19thcenturyfashions #1890sfashion, #latevictorianfashion #sodacanart #історіямоди
"Маріана з Порту" Образ жінки з високою зачіскою, головним убором із пір'ям та великим бантом на комірці. Мода кінця XIX століття. Королівство Португалія. Картина виконана в техніці ручного тиснення на металі. Матеріали: алюміній, акрил, пудра бронзи, пластик (основа), патинування вогнем та молоком. Розмір: 10×13 см з рамкою, (внутрішній — 7×10 см). Доповнена двомовною інформаційною табличкою на джутовій нитці. "Mariana of Porto" The image of an extraordinary dame, who is named Mariana of Porto. We may behold her noble countenance, which is pridefully turned aside. Her head is adorned with a most lofty coiffure, fashioned in the manner of a tower, wherein amidst masterfully plaited tresses there appeareth a sumptuous headdress with feathers, such as befitteth a free spirit. Upon her neck, beneath the very chin, a right large and magnificent bow is attached, as if a wondrous flower had blossomed upon the collar. Knowing folk say that it is the fashion of distant lands from the close of the nineteenth century, which did prevail at the courts in the Kingdom of Portugal. "Маріана з Порту" Образ жони незвичайної, котра "Маріаною з Порту" іменується. Зріти можемо лик її шляхетний, що гордовито у бік звернений. Голова ж її прикрашена превисокою куафурою, на манір вежі влаштованою, де серед кучерів майстерно сплетіних видніється убір пишний з пір’ям, що духу вільному подобає. На шиї ж, під самим підборіддям, бант вельми великий та розкішний зачеплений, ніби цвіт дивовижний на комірі розквітлий. Кажуть знаючі люде, що то є мода країв далеких, кінця віку дев’ятнадцятого, котра у Королівстві Португальськім при дворах панувала. The artwork is created using the hand-embossing technique on metal. Materials: aluminum, acrylic, bronze powder, plastic (base), fire and milk patination. Size: 10×13 cm with the frame (inner size — 7×10 cm). Accompanied by a bilingual information plaque on a jute string.

"Maiden from Frankfurt an der Oder". An image of a young woman in a floral hat, styled in the late 19th-century German Empire fashion of the vibrant early Art Nouveau period.#embossing #handmade #repousse #metalrelief #fashionhistory #vintagefashion #1890sfashion #frankfurtonoder #історіямоди
«Юна леді з Франкфурта-на-Одері» Образ молодої жінки у капелюшку з квітами, виконаний у стилі кінця XIX століття. Деталі вбрання відображають моду Німецької імперії доби раннього модерну. Картина виконана в техніці ручного тиснення на металі. Матеріали: алюміній, акрил, пудра міді, пластик (основа), патинування вогнем та молоком. Розмір: 10×13 см з рамкою, (внутрішній — 7×10 см). Доповнена двомовною інформаційною табличкою на джутовій нитці. "Maiden from Frankfurt an der Oder" During my most wondrous wanderings through the Germanic lands, having arrived at the city of Frankfurt-upon-Oder, I encountered a young maiden. I beheld her in the very midst of the summers of the late nineteenth century. She was attired after the highest fashion of the German Empire, in those days which folk now call Modernity. Her head was adorned with an ingenious bonnet, artfully embellished with blossoms, as though a veritable spring garden had bloomed upon her golden tresses. The collar of her gown, high-standing and adorned with lace, bore witness to the nobility of her lineage and the austerity of the manners of that realm. Having been brought by the wheel of fortune into this current age, I stood in breathless wonder before the image of this local damsel. Her entire finery was no mere raiment, but a true mirror of that new epoch, wherein ancient virtues and modern chic were closely entwined. «Юна леді з Франкфурта-на-Одері». Під час моїх предивних мандрів землями германськими, потрапивши до града Франкфурта-над-Одерою, зустрів я юну панну. Бачив я її в самій гущі літ кінця століття дев’ятнадцятого. Одягнена вона була за найвищим звичаєм Німецької Імперії, у часи, що їх нині Модерном кличуть. Голову її прикрашав капелюшок хитромудрий, квітами майстерно убраний, наче справжній сад весняний на кучерях золотистих розквітнув. Комірець її сукні, високий та мереживом оздоблений, свідчив про шляхетність роду та строгість тамтешніх манер. Потрапивши волею долі у добу поточну, застиг я у подиві перед образом цієї панни тутешньої. Весь її стрій — то не просто вбрання, а справжнє дзеркало епохи нової, де старі чесноти з модерним шиком сплелися. The artwork is created using the hand-embossing technique on metal. Materials: aluminum, acrylic, copper powder, plastic (base), fire and milk patination. Size: 10×13 cm with the frame (inner size — 7×10 cm). Accompanied by a bilingual information plaque on a jute string.
