This book examines the theatrical depictions of Ottoman costumes, or Turkish dress, and demonstrates the French fascination for this foreign culture and its clothing. The impact, however, went far beyond costumes worn for art and theater, as Ottoman-inspired fashions became the most prominent and popular themes in French women's fashion throughout the 18th century. The newly invented fashion press used Ottoman-inspired styles to reconcile fashion consumption with Enlightenment dress reforms. At the same time, Turkish-inspired fashions were increasingly associated with long-criticized ideas about luxury, stereotypes about the connection between a woman's interest in fashion and "lascivious" behavior, and French perceptions of the Ottoman Empire. This backlash is epitomized by the public criticism of Queen Marie-Antoinette, who popularized Turkish-inspired fashion, embraced a lifestyle of excess, and is still remembered for her singular sense of style. Kendra Van Cleave includes numerous detailed images and dress patterns, enhancing her rich discussion of French styles during this important era. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Clothing perspectives, East and West -- Western and Eastern approaches to dress -- Defining Ottoman influence, 1760-90 -- Fashion and national identity -- Turquerie, enlightenment thought, and the French fashion press -- Marie-Antoinette aÌ la Turque -- Conclusion. 650 0 $a Fashion. 650 0 $a Clothing and dress. 650 0 $a Eighteenth century. 651 0 $a France. 651 0 $a Turkey. 830 0 $a Costume Society of America series. 941 $a 1 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20231205011015.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0AAC7122933C11EEBCD0C43545ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
