Always in fashion
Did you know that …
- Even the earliest people would adorn themselves with beads, shells, and pieces of amber which they sewed on their clothing?
- Especially in the Burgundian period (1361 – 1477), a lot of money was spent on fashion in the Lowlands? The dukes were renowned for being the most influential and lavish of the west (Western Europe).
- People from (pre)historic times did not just wear grey and brown rags? Colorful clothing and being well dressed were of great importance and showed one’s status (and your wealth)
Due to the corona restrictions, there are a maximum number of tickets available. Only the quickest fashion kings and queens will be assured they can enter.
