Baroque Clothing the Clothing of Both Sexes Was Characterized by Ease, Freedom and Being Picturesque We learn from history The Baroque Árpád Secondary School and Hostel of Székesfehérvár Vocational Centre, Székesfehérvár Hungary The Baroque style lasted from year 1600 to 1750. Baroque: barocco (Italian word) with the meaning ’convoluted reasoning’. Style characteristics of Baroque Portraying strength, impetus and dynamism restless lines and shapes complicated structures that are difficult to behold and review Realistic, sometimes a bit naturalistic way of imaging overly ornate theatrality Pathos, solemnity Passion Hero-cult Bizarre themes Baroque had four stages: Early Baroque The second stage is historically remarkable Basic historical trait of the third stage The historic background of the fourth stage is given by the reign of Empress Maria Theresa (1740-1780). Rákóczi’s War of Independence and fine arts The Rákóczi’s War of Independence broke out in 1703 – a work of art as a token of a new tendency, unique in the history of the Hungarian Baroque art. Ádám Mányoki – first portrait of Rákóczi, 1707 Ádám Mányoki – Rákóczi engraving, 1709; the famous Rákóczi portrait, 1712 Rákóczi’s relation to the countries of the Erasmus Project Slovakia the Czech Republic Romania Baroque hairstyle Ladies’ hairstyle: Spectacular, capturing application of new techniques modified collars had effects on hair hairpieces, additionals were used blond and black as ideal haircolours Headgears: toque hat, bonnets, mob-caps and small triangular hats Ornaments in hair: ribbons, jewels, pearls or beads, feathers, laces and tuckers (kerchiefs) Typical hairstyles: á lá Cadenette, Garcette (feather tufts), „doggy ear”, sheep’s hair, Fontanges- style, Marie Antoinette Gentlemen’s hairstyle: Long hair that was waved by curlers and hair-irons modified collars had effects on hair hairpieces, additionals were used, alonge wig shaved faces, only the elderly had beard Headgears: barrets, calottes Beard forms: pinbeard, spade beard, catherdal beard, twisted beard, sugarloaf beard, swallow- tail beard, fan-shaped beard Typical hairstyles: pipe haircut Steps of hair-do 1. We divide the hair to sections I.-V. 2. In section I. we divide the hair in the middle, then we separate the smaller parts in parallel. We iron these upwards with curling tongs. 3. We make three hair spirals of the hair in section II. 4. We set back the hair in section III and make a big ringlet of it. 5. We pin up the hair in section IV and make a big ringlet of it. 6. We let the hair in section V hang down and we iron it with curling tongs. As decoration we apply laces, feathers, hairpins and combs. The extreme dress compositions of Baroque no uniformity in dressing the laws of fashion first laid down by the French the famous manneqiuin puppets called famouses poupées took a mission of fashion Baroque clothes suggested luxury and elegance first fashion magazines complicated, raising tension, rich in dramatic elements, exalted with exciting colour effects extremes everywhere rich and loose skirts, ample and spacious dresses, crinoline, millstone collar , lace kerchief, wig the clothing of the period was similar to architecture, they enlarged the whole body with three-dimensional creations. trompe-l’oleil (misleading the eyes with optical tricks), the motto of painting is comprehensible in fashion as well Baroque clothing The clothing of both sexes was characterized by ease, freedom and being picturesque. Loose tailoring, profoundly elaborate decorations and bold colours, the use of silkbrocade and lace were typical. Ladies’ wear: ladies’ wear was quite the opposite of men’s wear fontange serves as a wig the sleeves reached maximum to the elbows, the lace frills covered half of the lower arm a huge cut-out at the waist part; broad and richly decorated skirt was sewn together with the waist to look slim they applied corsets they wore ’manteau’ over the underwear and it ended in a short tail and it was complete with a smaller decorative lace apron Men’s wear: broad jerkin – decorated with ribbons and embroideries decorated shirt sleeves with wide cuffs trosers reached just over the knees and it was complete with colourful stockings they tied a linen band around the neck with lace or lace decoration this outfit served as a base model to the modern suit of today that is complete with a jacket, a waistcoat and trousers.

Ladies’ wear: regardless the changes in Western fashion trends, there was a traditionally characteristic female dressing, which was followed by the majority of Hungarian women. net (ridges), lace, bead embroidery or clasps apperared in many places with such tailoring these were found only in the Hungarian Kingdom and in Erdély (Transylvania) they achieves slimness with corsets • they wore richly decorated pelisse that ended in a short tail and was complete with decorative fancy but rather small lacy apron The way of Making underskirt making the clothes puckering of the skirt sewing of the sides making the vent sewing of the waist-strap sewing of the rump Making skirt taking up the rump sewing of the lace with band sewing of the sides making the vent waist-line puckering sewing of the waist-strap Making topside making the inner side of string trimming of the lining of the string sewing of the stitching line making the sleeve lining of the string sewing of the sleeve Making coat braiding of the coat sewing of the sides and shoulders sewing of the collar sewing of the sleeve lining sewing of the stud Hungarian outfit/wear This era was the golden age of Hungarian outfit/wear.

  • Kobena Mercer in Black Hair/Style Politics
    new formations NUMBER 3 WINTER 1987 Kobena Mercer BLACK HAIR/STYLE POLITICS Some time ago Michael Jackson's hair caught fire when he was filming a television commercial. Perhaps the incident became newsworthy because it brought together two seemingly opposed news-values: fame and misfortune. But judging by the way it was reported in one black community newspaper, The Black Voice, Michael's unhappy accident took on a deeper significance for a cultural politics of beauty, style and fashion. In its feature article, 'Are we proud to be black?', beauty pageants, skin-bleaching cosmetics and the curly-perm hair-style epitomized by Jackson's image were interpreted as equivalent signs of a 'negative' black aesthetic. All three were roundly condemned for negating the 'natural' beauty of blackness and were seen as identical expressions of subjective enslavement to Eurocentric definitions of beauty, thus indicative of an 'inferiority complex'.1 The question of how ideologies of 'the beautiful' have been defined by, for and - for most of the time - against black people remains crucially important. But at the same time I want to take issue with the widespread argument that, because it involves straightening, the curly-perm hair-style represents either a wretched imitation of white people's hair or, what amounts to the same thing, a diseased state of black consciousness. I have a feeling that the equation between the curly-perm and skin-bleaching cremes is made to emphasize the potential health risk sometimes associated with the chemical contents of hair-straightening products. By exaggerating this marginal risk, a moral grounding is constructed for judgements which are then extrapolated to assumptions about mental health or illness.

  • 1 Guidance on Race Discrimination Based on Hairstyle September
    Guidance on Race Discrimination Based on Hairstyle September 2019 This enforcement guidance clarifies and explains how the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights (DCR) applies the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (LAD) to discrimination based on hairstyles,1 with a particular focus on hairstyles closely associated with Black people.2 As we explain below, the LAD’s prohibition on discrimination based on race encompasses discrimination that is ostensibly based on hairstyles that are inextricably intertwined with or closely associated with race. That means, for example, that the LAD generally prohibits employers, housing providers and places of public accommodation (including schools) in New Jersey from enforcing grooming or appearance policies that ban, limit, or restrict hairstyles closely associated with Black people, including, but not limited to, twists, braids, cornrows, Afros, locs, Bantu knots, and fades.3 A similar analysis applies to discrimination based on hairstyles that are inextricably intertwined with or closely associated with other protected characteristics, such as hairstyles associated with a particular religion. Background on Anti-Black Racism and Discrimination Based on Hairstyles That Are Inextricably Intertwined with or Closely Associated with Being Black Anti-Black racism, along with implicit and explicit bias against Black people, is an entrenched and pervasive problem both in New Jersey and across the country. In 2017 and 2018, respectively, 52 and 54 percent of reported bias incidents in New Jersey were motivated by the victim’s race, ethnicity, or national origin. Of those, approximately 72 percent were anti-Black.4 1 The purpose of this enforcement guidance is to clarify and explain DCR’s understanding of existing legal requirements in order to facilitate compliance with the LAD.

IT'S NOT JUST HAIR: HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR AN EMERGING TECHNOLOGY DEBORAH PERGAMENT* INTRODUCTION Nothing is more indicative of the importance currently being attached to hair growth by the general populace than the barrage of cases reaching the courts evidencing the attempt by one segment of society to control the plumage of another. -Justice William 0. Douglas Justice Douglas wrote those lines twenty-five years ago during a time when the nation and the court were examining the right of the state to control the appearance and actions of individuals purposefully attempting to flaunt social conventions about gender, race, and status through both action and physical appearance.' Nothing symbolized the struggle more than the long flowing tresses of white youths identified with the hippie movement 2 or the large "Afro" hairstyles of prominent African-American radical activists like Angela Davis.
