I was sitting here assuming that Middle Eastern Victorian-era fashion had to have been influenced by European medieval ages, when in fact it was likely the opposite!<BR/><BR/>I have personally little interest in Asia (China, Japan) aesthetically, but I've long admired all things Arabic/Islamic/Indian/Middle Eastern, so I enjoyed researching this blog a lot!!!Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01961174973796318673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857988142747792755.post-51528808872177688852008-03-06T07:24:00.000-05:002008-03-06T07:24:00.000-05:00Love this article!

That influence in turn would surface in the PRB's intertwining a medieval theme in their art and lives. The Victorians were so very adept as reintroducing styles and making them even more opulent - like Neo-Gothic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
