Excellent- More about Style from the Nile: Egyptomania in Fashion From the 19th Century to the Present Day
In 1922, the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb sparked an Egyptomania craze that influenced fashion, art, and culture. It resurfaced in the 21st century with designers like John Galliano and Iris van Herpen referencing ancient Egypt in their work.

In November 1922, the combined efforts of Howard Carter and Lord Carnarvon brought to light the remarkable treasures concealed within Tutankhamen's tomb, Egypt had long been a source of inspiration for emerging fashion trends. In the early 19th century, for instance, Napoleon's Egyptian campaign played a significant role in popularizing Kashmir shawls. Similarly, the inauguration of the Suez Canal in 1869 sparked Egyptianizing trends in gowns, jewelry, and textiles. Following the discovery of Tutankhamen's tomb, a fervent Egyptomania swept across all artistic domains, rapidly emerging as a dominant Art Deco motif. Flapper-style dresses adorned with intricate beaded Egyptian patterns, evening bags adorned with hieroglyphics, brooches casually featuring ancient scarabs, and the sleek black bobs favored by the esteemed icons of the time, Louise Brooks and Clara Bow, drew inspiration from the legendary beauty of Nefertiti and Cleopatra. Egyptomania has made a reappearance in contemporary fashion, with notable examples such as John Galliano's designs for Dior's Spring-Summer 2004 collection, which featured gold-encrusted pharaonic crowns instead of headdresses. Iris van Herpen's Fall 2009 collection referenced the ancient practice of mummification, and Chanel's M tiers d'Art 2018/2019 collection embraced Egyptian vibes. Through a comprehensive exploration of rigorous fashion history research, captivating images, and accessible yet informative writing, Style from the Nile provides a comprehensive overview of this captivating phenomenon that continues to captivate audiences to this day.
