Description

An ancient land of numerous ethnic groups, India is a country by which the clothing worn by its other people has been defined by religion, caste, and class. Tom Tierney’s sparsely researched choice of 44 able-to-color illustrations spotlights more than five centuries of fashions from the subcontinent’s colorful past.
Meticulously adapted from rare sources predominantly portraying figures of royalty and their gods, the drawings depict such traditional outfits as the sari, a long, gracefully draped gown worn by women; full trousers tapering to the ankle, worn by both sexes; and jodphurs, trousers which were westernized into riding breeches. Also shown are Pashmina shawls, turbans, fans made from peacock feathers, and swords, daggers, and other weapons.
A delightful choice of images for coloring book fans and admirers of Indian culture, these correctly rendered illustrations can also be useful to costume designers and fashion historians.
