Turkish woman of a Harem. I will caution this was made during the period of the orientalist rage in Europe so many of the works were exaggerations/ over dramatic views of harem life.

Anyone here in 20th century vintage clothing? Anyone a collector?

Here's a pre-ww1 jacket. I'd suspect it's an early 1900s jacket.

Things of interest:
>Heavy fabric which is not like modern lighter weight fabrics.
>Three button jacket with small lapels.
>Sack jacket which lacks darts in the front.
>Slanted breast pocket which is a trait of Edwardian era jackets.

But despite its age I think the average non-fashion conscious person would probably view it as a normal jacket, assuming you don't try to dress it up in an Edwardian way. I think someone mentioned last thread how the suit hasn't changed much and it's mostly true. There's still some more out there designs that have more "sporty elements" that call back to outdoor hunting events but those are seldom seen past the first half of the 20th century and post-1970s.
It's a old jacket from Hickey & Freeman from the Rochester, NY factory. This is pretty much an old jacket from modern day Hickey-Freeman.

The works by Nasreddin Dinet formerly Etienne Dinet before converting to Islam, are pretty unique for Orientalists paintings. They are quite accurate portrayals, for started unlike the others he actually used models from the region in Algeria. Some still had that sexual thing going on, like when he has them nude or bathing. Butwhen they are clothed he captured their clothing and makeup quite well. But even his nudes are accurate

Edwardian fashion is my favorite part of 20th century clothing. Even though it right on the cusp of 19th and 20th century.

>>2901228
I remember I used to think the geisha make up was really hot when I was in middle school.

Maybe I just don't know how to find the right pics, but I remember the white face paint seeming very attractive to me.

I also remember being in Disney World for a middle school band trip, and I passed a group of cheerleaders who seemed to come from Asia for some international competition. At least one of the chicks had some of that geisha make up on and it was so fucking hot (at least, at the time, if I saw it again now, I would probably be freaked out because I don't think she was much older than my middle schooler self).


Anyways, the point of the story is, that now when I look at pictures of girls like in OP's pic, I don't find it attractive at all, and I'm surprised it was ever attractive. Another part of me believes I just can't find the right pictures of models with that kind of makeup. Idk, I'm kinda sad that I can't experience that attraction anymore.

>>2902348

>>2902820
yeah mostly in the form of hair pins and combs though(esp. or gold). Not really in the form of rings, necklaces, or even earrings (most surprising).

Not really but perhaps she is supposed to represent some goddess(kami) with markings. I don't know the time period this is supposed to represent really. I just like the garment design and think the model is gorgeous.

The man's head piece looks alright but the pointed shoulder pads and dragon patterns on his clothing looks ridiculous, like he is a video game character. In the Tang Dynasty, women never put that much shit in their hair and the ideal woman was supposed to be a little fat so a skinny Wu Zetian would be considered ugly. Her makeup is applied in a modern style, actual makeup of the Tang Dynasty looked very different (pic related). Clothing at the time was loose and light but this image has both of them look like they are wearing very constricting and heavy costumes.
I've seen a few clips of this show and oddly enough, the only thing accurate is the cleavage.

Men's clothing changed a lot less than women's. The clothing differed based on the person's social class, rank, wealth, and as the Tang Dynasty was known for having a large foreign population, ethnicity. The average person and military men would generally where a tunic with nomadic influenced trousers, this was more practical than the Hanfu that the upper classes would wear as it allowed easier movement and horse riding. Gentry of the shi class would generally where the Hanfu. This was a flowing robe that was more constrictive than the tunic and trousers, but seen as more civilized as it was directly from ancient China and had no foreign influence. This could then again vary based on the person's rank (in government or military) and wealth. Wealthier people would have silk and richer decorations but no matter how rich they were they still had to abide by rules. Some officials of certain ranks were required to carry swords and had robes of a certain color (varied based on rank). Other's had to wear jade belts or have certain symbols on their Hanfu.

Hats were also very important as indicators of rank. The lower classes would sometimes not have a hat and just tie up their hair, or have a simple head covering. Gentry would have hats with two wing like flaps. The purpose was to prevent the officials from leaning towards each other sideways to chat but this seems to have been phased out as during the Tang dynasty the wings would droop.

The attached photo is an example of what the average guy would have worn. The picture is of military men but if you ignore the weapons, the boots, and the head coverings, you'd get a good idea.

It's not like there has to be a function when it comes to such things. They saw fit to either wear such breast-exaggerating dresses or portray their goddesses as such, for whatever cultural reason. It's not like a tribal Ethiopian stretches their lip with a lip plate to serve a practical purpose.

In the book, "Japanese Destroyer Captain" the author spends one of the earlier chapters talking about a romantic fling he had with a Geisha girl. She was very young, only 18. Apparently, she was smitten with him, and she was skipping many work days to spend more time with him. Eventually, the Imperial Navy somehow found out about this. The girl's boss had contacted them because he was angry about his girl skipping work so many days. The author was then confronted by another officer of superior rank. The Imperial Navy felt that it was wrong for him to be spending so much time with a woman who was not his wife. He offered to marry her, but he was told that it would be completely unacceptable for a naval officer to marry a Geisha. He was ordered to dump her and then never see her again, or his career as an officer was over.

He wrote to his family for advice, and they wrote back basically calling him an idiot who was risking his promising naval career for some stupid girl. The girl told him during their final visit that spending time with him had been the greatest time of her life, and that she didn't regret it all despite how much money it cost her. She also told him not to worry about her, as she had successfully applied for a visa to immigrate to the United States (Japan and America were still on good terms at this point in time, for the most part). Not really directly related to the topic, but I thought it was a cute and interesting story.

That's really a very cute story.

Reinhard Heydrich had promised a girl to marry her, but then chose to become engaged to a Nazi broad instead. He informed his former love by sending her a news article about his engagement. The spurned woman's enraged father sent a complaint to the Navy (Heydrich was in the Navy's officer track at that time). Now, normally that kind of thing would be considered to damage Heydrich's honor, but not lead to further punishment. However, during his hearing in front of the Navy honor coucil, Heydrich behaved in a very arrogant manner, spoke poorly about the spurned woman and claimed to never have promised her to marry her. The council was disgusted by his behaviour and manners, and admiral Raeder decided that he was too dishonorable to become an officer in the Weimar Republic Navy. He was dismissed from the Navy, his life plans in ruin.
He later met Himmler through his wife and became one of the organizers of the Holocaust and was involved with many other criminal organizations during the Third Reich.


So a nameless woman's naivete and the fallout of her lewd conduct led a man down the path of crime and infamy and led to the suffering of millions.

This is a bit off thread topic, but quintessentially, what is the point of geisha? They weren't high end prostitutes/escorts necessarily, they weren't necessarily dancers or singers though they could do that. Did they also basically function as models you could also pay to hang out with you?

>>2913839
They're like a very refined entertainer and performer, they kinda function as all the things you listed though not officially as for prostitute and escort

>>2913839
>Did they also basically function as models you could also pay to hang out with you?
Yes. They were entertainers. Hired company. They would conversate with the client, drink with them, perform dances, play instruments and play games.

>>2913877
So like host clubs in Japan today a.k.a paying to be blue balled(a concept I still don't really understand), only they were actually skilled in the performing arts?

>>2913892

To get into Japanese mentality, the closest modern thing to it is a maid cafe or a and idol group, in which the girl are meant to be both entertainer and performer, sometimes also have to be seducing but never too lewd like its western counterpart since the Japanese like the looks of purity

>>2913918
>Japanese like the look of purity

I don't know if this is true of most Japanese let alone all of them but I can see what you mean. I don't think I will ever really understand it but yeah, basically cute girls going cute things.

>>2913915
So pay to have people play drinking games with you and sing /dance. Then pay a separate girl(courtesan) to fuck( in most cases). I guess.

Fuck off. There was Chinese and Middle Eastern fashion too. Most European fashion was lame past the middle ages (excluding 18th century).
20th century(particularly 1920s) is the only other great time.

>>2916887
Was she a real person? There are so many myths and speculations about her existence. Did they even truly have female samurai?

>>2917989
Well, some women from samurai families were trained to handle weapons as part of their education, and sometimes these women were forced in situations where they had to actually fight (last stand, raid while all the men were away, etc). Peasant women forming impromptu militias to defend their homes from attacks while the men were away doesn't seem too far fetched either.

In that sense, in very specific situations, there were female warriors. Some that came from samurai families.

However, as far as I know, the only example of an "actual" female samurai actually going on a battlefield (the woman you are referring to) is very, very probably a myth.Though we also have one historical example, coming from the Boshin war, though it fits more in the last stand archetype (a few women from a pro-Shogunate clan decided to fight, did it against their families wishes, went to war with naginatas, got wiped out at the first engagement).

Off topic but what else do females in the general history / humanities fields like to talk about and how do I talk to them?

>>2918411
Same things guys like to talk about.

>>2908902
The knowledge to make them wasn't lost, people just weren't allowed to wear them. I've heard that even some Qing emperors wore them in private sometimes, but just never bother to lift the ban for everyone else.

>>2918411
I'm a femanon but I can only speak for myself. I like big historical figures and interesting day to day aspects of life. It's why I love manga like Otoyomegatari, it shows a lot of every day things. I like knowing about mythology too, I've read a ton on Nordic and Aztec myths. Greek myths are overrated tho.

>>2918595
Not wearing the queue was definitely punishable by death, but I don't think the restrictions extended to clothes as well. My perception is that the Qing fashion of officials just trickled down to everyone else due to its prestige. I might be wrong though.

>>2918634
A lot of females don't really seem to be interested in big historical figures/military/philosophy in history. They mostly seem to swarm around social and cultural history.

>tfw classical East Asian fashion is ridiculously superior to anything that has ever existed

There are plenty of women who care about history, anon lol. It's one of the humanities women like to major in. My history teacher in high school was obsessed with European history, all parts from wars to culture.

Stop thinking about "general trends" as it won't serve you well, especially if you're talking to girls online vs. real life anyway.History is history.

btw. More Persian in pic related.

>>2919241
I was talking about the types of lenses/perspectives different kinds of people tend towards, not about interest towards history as a whole. A large number of boys like my own brother have an interest in history because of war and generals and call social/cultural stuff a bore. I can't imagine it this line of thought being significantly present for girls.

>>2919281
Well if you're going to harp on what's more likely to be a favorite, perhaps politics and culture. But again, history is history and it's unlikely the girls won't also be interested in wars especially since politics and war are heavily associated.

You mean something like this? Yeah, it's pretty wretched. And again, I feel like if China had stuck to its guns about certain cooler aspects of its culture, costumes like this wouldn't even exist. Because today that's what qipaos (and hanfu too, despite the brave efforts of historical fashion enthusiasts) are: they're not clothes any more, they're costumes. And it makes me sad that a Japanese can walk into a 7/11 in Tokyo to buy a pack of smokes and a doujinshi wearing a hakama without anyone batting an eye, but a Chinese couldn't do the same in Beijing or Shanghai without someone asking them if they're putting on a street performance or if they're an extra in a historical TV drama.
