STUDY CASE – RECONSTRUCTION OF MEN'S CLOTHING FROM THE SECOND HALF OF THE 16TH CENTURY

The garments of the common people of the Renaissance period haven't been treated with the same care as the fashion of the aristocrats. The visual representations don't show us a clear form in the design of the objects presented, whereas by not preserving the clothes of the ordinary people brings the problem in the documenting of clothing construction. Therefore, further research is more complex. This paper aims to show the connections, but also the differences, in the dressing of the lower and higher classes in the Renaissance by interpreting clothing items in the Giovanni Battista Moroni's portrait „The Tailor“ (1565 – 1570). The book by British clothing historian and costume designer Janet Arnold "Patterns of Fashion: The Cut and Construction of Clothes for Men and Women 1560-1620" (1985) served as a primary source in exploring the construction and method of obtaining the silhouette. Comparing the clothing shapes of certain objects with the Moroni's portrait, one can notice the similarity between the garments of the aristocrats and the tailor.
