The broader Regency period 1795-1820 stands alone as an incredible
moment in fashion history unlike anything that went before or
after. It was the most naked period since Ancient Greece and before
the 1960s, and for the first time England became a fashion
influence, especially for menswear, and became the toast of Paris.
With the ancient regime deposed, court dress became secondary and
the season by season flux of fashion as we know it came into being,
aided and abetted by the proliferation of new ladies' magazines.
Such an age of revolution and innovation inspired a flood of
fashions taking influence from everything including the newly
discovered treasures of the ancient world, to radical new ideas
like democracy. It was an era of contradiction immortalized by Jane
Austen, who adeptly used the newfound diversity of fashion to
enliven her characters, Wickham's military splendor, Mr. Darcy's
understated elegance, and Miss Tilney's romantic fixation with
white muslin.
