STYLE IN THE EAST
200BCE - 600CE
China was known as Ceres (from the word for silk) in the ancient world after its legendary and luxurious silks that were traded to the West along the Silk Road.
The rich stashes of garments and accessories found in ancient tombs show how sophisticated the textiles and clothing were.
They included highly patterned, light - reflective fabrics, and translucent gauze weaves.
By layering garments of different lengths, and adding contrasting linings, waist sashes, and bands around the neck, strikingly colorful combinations were achieved.
Elaborate cloth turbans and wide sleeves were to influence fashion in the West.
The T-shaped kimono-style garments from China and Japan had wide sleeves that hung from the elbow over the wrist and different proportions than Western-style tunics.
In central Asian and Persian areas (modern Iran and Iraq) clothing was more fitted, tight to the wrists and with shaped skirts, influenced by the nomadic, horse-riding peoples.
Silk Road
The Silk Road was not one but several trading routes through the mountains and deserts between Asia, the Arabian peninsula, and the Mediterranean.
Silk was a prime commodity, along with precious stones and spices.
Excavations along the Silk Road offer glimpses into the cloths being traded.
For example, at Palmyra in Syria-a major trading center that handled goods from China.
India, and Iran in the Roman period - Chinese silks have been found in tombs.
After Western cultures fell for silk's allure, their goal was to learn the secrets of sericulture (obtaining silk from silkworms) for themselves.
The Persians succeeded by the 3rd century CE.
