Fashion+in+Ancient+Egypt



Fashion in Ancient Egypt  As at present in ancient Egypt, women, men and children thanks to the wonderful invention of the loom, could enjoy fashion, as it is now that great symbol of the social status of each person. Clearly it was not like today, not even the same clothing, as their costumes were very low: for example, people who were not as important as the privileged wore clothes quite simple,however the Emperor and upper classes wore a great costume, aside from the jewelry and makeup (which was also something that used the "poor" though, using lower quality materials).
