Abantu abaningi banesithakazelo ukuthi bagqoke kanjani futhi baqeqeshwe ezikhathini zasendulo. Ngiphakamisa ukuthi ngifunde ukuthi yiziphi izinhlobo zezicathulo ezazigqoke eYurophu kusukela eNkathini Ephakathi.
Amakhosi aminyaka ephakathi ayenamandla angenamkhawulo, ngakho-ke ngezinye izikhathi imiyalo yokuqala yangempela yayishicilelwe ephathelene nazo zonke izici zokuphila kwabantu. Lesi sibonelo singasebenza njengesiyalo seNkosi yaseFrance uPhilip IV ukuthi bonke abahloniphekile kufanele bagqoke izicathulo kuphela ngamasokisi akhiphekile. Futhi ubude bezicathulo kubonisa izinga lobuhle bomhlobo womnikazi. Izikhulu ezivamile zembethe izicathulo ezingamamentimitha angu-1 nengxenye emikhulu kunesayizi sangempela unyawo. Amabhononi ayegqoke izicathulo amamitha amabili ubude, futhi izikhulu ngamamentimitha amathathu. Ukuze bangakhubeki futhi banganamatheli emlenzeni omude wezicathulo, abahlonishwayo babopha iphoyinti eligobile lejazi kuya emlenzeni ngosizo lwewele.
Esikhathini esilandelayo, i-XV leminyaka, impilo yabahlonishwa yanciphisa kancane. Izicathulo zaba mfushane futhi zikhulu. Ukuze anikeze umusa izicathulo, abenzi bezinsika baqala ukubopha izipikili ngezingodo. Izicathulo zabesifazane azibonakali ziphawulekayo. Ukuziphatha ngaleso sikhathi akuzange kuvumele abesifazane abahloniphekile ukuba babonise ngisho nezicathulo. Kodwa amadoda angakwazi ukukhipha konke. Ngaleso sikhathi kwafakwa isithende esibomvu esihlukile, esabeka abantu abavela emakhakheni avela kubantu bezinye amakilasi.
Isikhathi esilandelayo sezomlando singabizwa ngokuthi yisikhathi samaBaroque. Ngalesi sikhathi, isikhulu seFrance saseFrance, esingaziwa, sasingumphathi waseFrance. Wethula amabhuzu amancane esikhumba nge-shayela-izithende zibe yifashini. Inhloso yalezi zithende ukusiza ngokugibela. Ngosizo lwabo, umgibeli wabambelela kangcono kulesi sivunguvungu. Ngesikhathi esifanayo emfashini kwakungeyona nje impi kuphela, kodwa futhi nezibopho zezwe. Le fashion yaqhubeka kuze kube sekupheleni kwekhulu le-XVII.
Ngalesi sikhathi, kwakukhona izicathulo ezintsha - izicathulo, ezifana nezicathulo zesimanje zamadoda. Babegqoke ngamasokisi amade amade ayebopha imilenze yawo. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, amasiko athambekele kancane kancane. Manje iziketi zebesifazane zincane kakhulu futhi zesifazane. Lokhu kwabangela ukuthuthukiswa kwezicathulo zabesifazane. Manje imilenze yabesifazane baye bazikhulula ezicathulweni ezinzima ezihlalweni ezinzima zamapulangwe kanye nezithende ezifanayo. Izicathulo ezihle zenziwe nge-silika, i-brocade, i-velvet, ehlotshiswe nge-embroidery, amatshe ayigugu aboniswa. Ngo-1680, imfashini yasungula izithende ezinjalo eziphakeme nezincanyana abesifazane ababehamba ngazo kuphela emanzini. Amadoda ayengafuni ukugubha ngemuva kwesigamu esihle, futhi abuye agqoke izicathulo ngezithende. Futhi ngokushesha yaqala ukukhishwa izimiso zombuso, okwakunquma ukuthi ukuphakama kwesithende kwafakwa endaweni ngayinye. Ngokwemvelo, isimo esiphezulu, isisindo esiphezulu.
Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, imfashini yaqala ukufaka izicathulo ngamasokisi angenayo. Kancane kancane, ingxenye engenhla yanda futhi ikhuliswa, futhi ingxenye ephansi yangemva yancipha. Ngamashumi amabili ekhulwini le-XVI kwakuncane kangangokuthi kwakunzima ukugcina ngezinyawo. Ngakho-ke, lezi zicathulo zazihlanganiswe nezibopho ezikhethekile ekukhuleni. Izicathulo zenziwe nge-velvet, isilika, isikhumba. Umbala wezicathulo wawuhlukile: obomvu, ophuzi, omhlophe, obuluhlaza nabanye. Ungapheli namabhodlela ngezindwangu ezisikiweyo zesikhumba, kodwa zivame ukugqoka ukugibela.
Izinguquko ezibalulekile ku-fashion shoes zivele kuphela ngekhulu le-XVII. Futhi abaqalisi bezinto ezintsha babephinde baseFrance. Kule nkathi, i-trendsetter yayinguLouis XIV. Lo muntu wayengumthandi okhweleyo wokugibela amahhashi, futhi wakhula amabhuzu akhethekile ngama-bootlegs amaningi . Ama-lapels amabhuzu ayegcwele i-lace enkulu. Imibala yakhe ayithandayo iluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka nokuphuzi. Ngemva kwesikhashana, ushokoledi omhlophe, omnyama kanye namabhodlela amnyama wangena emfashini. Izicathulo nezicathulo zigqokelwe kuphela ngezikhathi eziyingqayizivele, ezibucayi. Ngemva kwesikhashana, izicathulo zaqala ukusikwa ku-satin ezimhlophe ezinezithende ezibomvu kanye nama-rosettes amakhulu. Ukuze zivikele izicathulo ngesikhathi sezulu esimanzi, izigqoko zesikhumba ezikhethekile eziqinile zazigqoke noma ezinye iziqu ezinamapulangwe zaziboshwe. Ekhulwini le-XVIII, ngesikhathi se-rococo, imfashini yabuyela efenisha ebukhali. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ukunakwa okwengeziwe kubhalwa ukuhlobisa nokuhlobisa. Kunezibhunqa eziyinkimbinkimbi, ukushaya kanye nokuguqa phezulu.
Akuwona wonke umuntu owazi ukuthi agqoke futhi agqoke kanjani ezikhathini zasendulo, kodwa izitayela zezimlando eziningi zichazwa ngezindlela eziyinhloko zokugqoka imfashini, zimelwe kumamyuziyamu, okuvezwe ezithombeni.
