Fashion in 15th-century Europe was characterized by a series of extremes and extravagances. As Europe continued to become more prosperous, the urban middle class, including skilled workers, began to wear more complex clothes that followed the fashions set by the elite, ranging from voluminous gowns—called houppelandes—with sweeping, floor-length sleeves to draped, jeweled, and feathered hats, hoods, and other headdresses.

ALSO FEATURED
The excited and passionate Charles Banjatwa from the Artscape. He joined me this morning to chat about 'The Moerane Musical Tribute' which takes place at Artscape Theatre from March 19-20 at 8pm as well as March 21 at 3pm. Its choral music meets jazz and marimba definitely something for everyone. Now for those who don’t, Michael Moerane is a brother to former President Thabo Mbeki’s mother, was the first black music graduate to be produced in South Africa in the 1940’s. Emerging at a time marked by racial segregation, the then apartheid authorities would not acknowledge Moerane’s talent and charisma as a conductor in music, inter alia orchestra, as this genre mainly comprised whites only. Through personal sacrifice and persistence, Moerane eventually graduated and wrote choral music that was later recorded in America and Europe, and as a result the draconian government eventually surrendered to sensibility.
