Spring is always a time of bright romantic dresses, rich colors, and interesting solutions in the field of fashion. Time to create new fashion collections and renew your wardrobe. Time to search for new images that harmoniously combine the rebirth of nature and the desire for new sensations.
It is difficult to imagine the creation of new fashionable images without silk. Although this was not always the case...
For many centuries, the bulk of women of fashion around the world did not know what silk is. I could not enjoy its quality, be captivated by its tenderness. Fashion masters from all over the world racked their brains over the creation of new models of women's clothing from scrap materials. With great difficulty, we developed outfits for demanding clients, whose dissatisfaction could cost the life of a “negligent” master.
Meanwhile, the Chinese chuckled and sewed delicate, pleasant to the touch, bright outfits for their beauties.
And the spread of silk all over the world began with Alexander the Great. It was he who, with his campaigns, united East and West. At least, he opened new horizons, introduced us to each other, laid the prerequisites for the creation of trade routes.
The Chinese really liked the thoroughbred Arabian horses. At the same time, intelligence reported that silk weaving was not developed at all in foreign lands. The sense of a reasonable benefit prevailed over various possible confrontations. So the Great Silk Road was formed, and the amazing fabric began to conquer the world, striking the imagination of the then fashionistas with elaborate embroidery, bright colors and noble shine.
For a long time, it was forbidden to export silkworm caterpillars or their larvae in China. Violators were punished with death. Only in 555, two enterprising monks managed to take out several larvae. Thus, they not only revealed to the Europeans all the beauty of industrial espionage, but also laid the foundation for the worldwide production of silk fabric.
Natural silk fabrics are appreciated for their beauty, high hygroscopicity, strength, lightness and tenderness. They have a noble shine, are flexible and drape well. It is from silk that romantic models of dresses are created.
The mystery of ancient China has been revealed. Thanks to two medieval monks, modern fashion connoisseurs don't have to embark on a long journey. You can find everything you need much closer.
