Fooduary Day 20: Flan

The origins for this one drove me around in circles a little bit. I couldn't find anybody willing to actively give specific year dates for this dessert. What I can tell you is that flan was invented at some point during the Roman Empire as a savory dish and at some point it became a really popular caramel dessert in Spain. After chasing my tail for a while I decided to commit to the general Roman Empire, because at least everyone seemed to agree on that.

One Dress a Day Challenge

November: Oscar winners

The Robe / Jean Simmons as Diana

Year: 1953

Designers: Charles LeMaire and Emile Santiago

I'm impressed that they managed to avoid the "bullet bra" silhouette, which was all the rage at the time. I also like the edging on the soft yellow dress; it creates a pleasing effect when the draped layers overlap.

My family used to jokingly refer to this movie as The Robe that Ate Richard Burton. It seemed a bit overwrought on our small TV. It must have been quite a spectacle on the big screen, though.

Asoiaf - fashion of the courts throughout the ages of the Targaryen Dynasty, headcanons.

1) Under Aegon I + Aenys & Maegor : mainly greek/roman & bizantine inspiration for clothing, which correspond respectively to classical Valyrian clothing (greek being the older style, roman the more recent) and to neo-Valyrian clothing, fashion that appeared after the fall of Valyria (the bizantine empire being the "successor" or outright continuation of the eastern roman empire). Marginal use of southern Westerosi fashion, meaning western middle ages (up to beginning of renaissance) type of clothing.

+ in rare instances they still wore a more ancient style of Valyrian clothing inspired by ancient Egyptian fashion.

Bizantine styles :

2) Under Jaehaerys I : bizantine type clothing become slowly associated to ceremonies and used less (they're very ostentatious & not to Alysanne's prefered taste) all the while the Targaryen style takes in more and more westerosi (especially Andal) influences. It's a time of reconciliation with the faith & of deeper attempts at adapting to Westerosi customs. Also a time when the family opens itself more to non-valyrian families, through marriage or attempts at marriage with families like the Arryns & the Manderlys. Greek and roman styles remain a norm though.

👇greek & roman styles examples.

3) Under Viserys I : a bit of a neo-Valyrian (bizantine) revival as the king & the court flaunt the wealth & prosperity of the realm at the time. The nobility at large also begins to wear more classical & neo-Valyrian styles. Princess Rhaenyra is especially fond of this lavish style. But queen Alicent Hightower is more fond of south Westerosi clothing, less lavish, as well as more conservative than the greek & roman styles still widely used, and influences part of the court to chose that style over the other deliberately. The choice of a style of clothing could subtly indicate either black or green sympathies (although Alicent's heirs present at court would still wear Valyrian style clothing/hairstyles to affirm their Valyrian heritage).

Southern Westerosi types of clothes :

4) Under Aegon III, Viserys II & their sons Daeron I, Baelor I and Aegon IV : general slip towards Westerosi fashion, with some shifts & bumps along the road. Daeron I with his desire to finish what his conqueror ancestors started & appeal to a more prosperous past was more favorable to Valyrian roman/greek traditions of style but the influence of Valyrian ladies like Rhaena of Pentos, Queen Daenaera Velaryon, Rhaena daughter of Aegon III, Elaena Targaryen, Naerys Targaryen who for most of them dressed in westerosi style and were more or less pious faith followers skewed the game, despite outliers like Baela & Daena. There was as well the influence of Baelor Targaryen of course. So the fashion would be more conservative and somewhat less ostentatious (compared to previously) in general.

4.5) Under Aegon IV in particular : The modest wardrobe of Naerys especially would incite her admirers & the followers of her son Daeron to wear simpler more conservative westerosi fashion, while those trying to please Aegon IV (especially by presenting their daughters) and who saw Daemon Blackfyre as more promising than Daeron would skew towards less conservative fashion with greek/roman influences to evoke the Targaryen golden ages (and to be more alluring to the king). Naerys' influence would lead a fashion of hair covering headwear, which would continue into Daeron II's reign.

Examples :

5) Under Daeron II the good : following the trend set above, continues a move towards Westerosi type of clothing over traditional or neo-Valyrian styles. But through Dornish alliances and an established presence at court, introduction of Dornish styles (inspired by morrocan, algerian, possibly turkish medieval/renaissance styles) which would bring back some ostentatiousness & ease the conservatism of the clothes.

Dornish clothing ideas :

That'll be all for now, I just needed that vent ; but later kings' courts continued down that part for sure, which traditional or neo-Valyrians style clothing becoming relatively uncommon for court members to wear, even Targaryen royalty, except in the cases of particular & excentric individuals as different as Aerion Brightflame & Rhaegar Targaryen.

‘Elsewhere, in [the Elder Pliny’s] far from coherent protests against the introduction of the gold ring as a status symbol to mark the equestrian order, he complains that legislation under Tiberius, which attempted to restrict the wearing of gold rings after common tradesmen and barkeepers had used them to protect themselves from magistrates, only encouraged the spread of the phenomenon among those of servile origin. Silver shoe buckles, paradoxically regarded as less trite and therefore more desirable than gold ones, became a luxury among women of plebeian status (luxu feminarum plebis), while embossed silver sword hilts attained fashion among common soldiers. Earrings formed of clusters of pearls called crotalia were the aspiration even of poor women (pauperes), and Pliny acknowledges the potency of 'luxury' in providing status markers, quoting the women as saying that ‘a pearl was a woman's lictor in public.’

From the journal article The Social Spread of Roman Luxury: Sampling Pompeii and Herculaneum by Andrew Wallace-Hadrill.

What did Romans wear when they reached the cooler climes of Britain? As it turns out even the British climate wasn’t enough to put a dampener on the Roman passion for fashion.

hello! i hope you're having a splendid day today <3 i was wondering if you might be able to help me out, but no pressure if you cant! i am trying to find a very specific time period and area history of fashion for a project and i want to be as historically accurate as possible. im trying to find what women and men (of all social statuses) wore from around 1630-1651 in rome, italy. the internet seems to be full of renaissance fashion but no so much baroque lol thank you if you can help!! <3

Hi there!

I'm not a fashion historian, so all I can do is what you've been doing, which is googling. If you want to see what I have on my blog for that era, you can use the tags I've put on this post!

Ancient Necklace with Mosaic Glass Beads, from the Eastern Mediterranean, c.100 BCE-100 CE: this necklace is composed of 30 glass beads, most of which are decorated with stylized faces

From the John Paul Getty Museum:

The beads are made of multi-colored opaque glass and are decorated with heads and floral designs. The necklace is in good condition; some beads are chipped or cracked.

The exact origin of this piece is unknown, but it can be traced back to the Eastern Mediterranean, where it was likely made by a Greek or Roman artist.

Each bead has a width of about 1.2cm (roughly half an inch); they're decorated with remarkably intricate details, and each face is depicted in its own unique style.
