\u201cMy Lady, please, you must cover your hair!\u201d<\/p>

\u201cOh, Isabeau, you fussy old nursemaid, there is a veil attached to my hennin.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cYes, and it covers nothing at all! Your hair streams forth like a river. It is shameful.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cOh pish! Do you want me to look like a shriveled old frump? This is a tournament in honor of His Grace\u2019s nameday. All the great of Burgundy will be there! It is shameful if I do not catch their eyes!\u201d Indeed, the entire Order of the Golden Fleece will be gathered, along with the many young knights and squires who hope to gain its notice through their feats of arms. But most importantly, and secretly, it is the eye of one young squire in particular that is of concern\u2026.<\/p>

\u201cThen at least pin shut your collar with a brooch. You wish to look a lady, not a strumpet!\u201d<\/p>

\u201cAnd this is the fashion of a lady; did not Franz say so when he returned from Milan? Would a strumpet of a belt with a silver buckle fastened beneath her bosom?\u201d Then again, fingering that silly Englishman\u2019s carnelian pin, wouldn\u2019t it be wise to let a certain Burgundian squire know he\u2019d best not take things for granted? \u201cAll right, Isabeau, I see your point. Perhaps a brooch would be more appropriate\u2026\u201d<\/p>

As a society in transition, the 15th century was if nothing else, a dramatic era, and this is reflected in its fashions. In the waning decades of the 14th century, a new style evolved as a direct contrast to the sleek, fitted women\u2019s cotehardie<\/a>. This sumptuous gown was the houppelande<\/a>, and in any ways represented the perfect marriage of three centuries of women\u2019s fashion. In this one garment, the voluminous, \u201cangel-wing\u201d sleeves of the 12th century combined with the loose body of the 13th, and the deep necklines of the 14th.Combined with a high-collar, full-train, an underdress<\/a>, and a tall hat, or henin, the end result was a stunningly elegant gown that is associated with the \u201cfair damsel\u201d to this day.<\/p>

The houppelande<\/a> and the accompanying henin continued to evolve throughout the 1400s, and we have chosen to reproduce a style that would have fashionable amongst courtiers and wealthy burghers throughout the second and third quarters of the 15th century. Based on primarily northern Italian and Burgundian sources, the two great fashion centers of the period, this style had a broad, international appeal, and can be found throughout England, France and the Holy Roman Empire. In honor of the garment\u2019s inherent elegance and sumptuousness, we are introducing our henin in a dazzling array of jewel tones.<\/p>
