Welcome to the official website of Edīte Parute, fashion and art historian! 

"It is a journey through time designed by imagination and knowledge. It is a story of fashion which is not expected to start or end. It is a neverending process of introspection and research... And every time it confirms that everything once invented and borrowed from the past has been updated and adapted in today's fashion world. It makes this whole process so fascinating."

About The Content Of This Webpage

I created this site in March 2017, because I really like the time travelling and exploring more or less well-known stories from the past times. It is my pleasure to share my discoveries and tell you these stories. While I am a professional fashion historian, building up this webpage is more like a hobby which allows me to learn a lot of new things during the story building process.  And do you know what's most important here?​ This site was created for educational purposes or purely for entertainment. And just for such purposes it should be used. 

The main content of this website is the compendium of fashion stories & mini essays that combine my special interest in the greatest secrets of historical fashion and costume legends. Since I have always liked to write stories and to find out the historical origins and development of the components of the costume, I have created content that shows the interaction between literary aspects and the work of fashion detective. Stories that are written in the Costume History & Fashion Legends [Essays in English] section are not yet categorized. I plan to do this in 2018.​

This page is still in the process of continuous improvement. In 2018, it is expected to create 90% of the content of the page in English language.  Part of the content created in Latvian language during 2017, is intended to be translated into English by adapting it for readers in the whole world. Thus, Fashionologia Historiana intends to reach a wider international audience. Such a decision has been made by analyzing the current traffic and taking into account the expectations of readers worldwide.

I really hope you will continue to enjoy reading & exploring the stories of fashion history!
