The 'J' Word


Here's an interesting application for your knowledge of the Middle Ages: fashion designer.

When you look for it, there's actually quite a bit of Medievally inspired fashion out there. This Book of Hours handbag is one such example of the Middle Ages influencing modern fashion.

And if you'd rather work on more authentic projects there is always a market for replica Medieval costumes and clothing. A simple Internet search turns up dozens of websites which sell such replicas, here's one for example: http://www.mwart.com/

So if you have an interest in fashion, the Middle Ages can prove a fruitful muse indeed.
