Moda y tradición

Set in the Lima of the mid-19th century, the text delves into the clothing of the Lima people of that time from the perspective of the history of art and design. In the four chapters that make it up, the researcher Angélica Brañez makes an approach to the social historical context, with emphasis on social groups and differences in human types. In addition, it analyzes the correspondence between the costume and the public space, as well as the visual identity of the town through its garments, uses, fashion and styles. Anatomy, proportions, chromatic palette, textures and designs are deeply detailed to imagine with veracity the most traditional garments such as the skirt, the poncho, the blanket or the pants typical of a Lima that begins to feel the impact of industrial manufacturing. This work is an illustrative and curious review of our past through its dress.
