CONTRIBUTIONS TO FASHION HISTORY – THE TERM CROATO IN THE 16TH CENTURY

A large number of historical books from the late 16th century focused on presenting specific and diverse clothing styles with regard to the country of origin. The terms for clothing styles and items were often designed as derivatives of respective demonyms. I shall analyze the specific term croato, following its traces in the archival records of Dalmatia, Venice and a small number of graphic presentations. The goal is to raise questions on the expression of national identity through fashion codes and to give some new guidelines for further research into the Croatian contribution to Western fashion in the late 16th century.
