Ancient Egypt
A fashion aesthetic drawing directly from the visual iconography of ancient Egyptian civilization — hieroglyphics, pharaonic headdresses, kohl-rimmed eyes, and gold — reimagined for modern dress. Perennially influential in fashion since the 1920s discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb reignited global 'Egyptomania.' Common pieces include draped linen or silk in white, gold, and black, Egyptian-motif jewelry featuring scarabs, ankhs, and the Eye of Horus, kohl-heavy eye makeup, serpent arm cuffs, gold collar necklaces, and strappy sandals.
