Χανιά,Κρήτη

Τα Χανιά είναι η τοποθεσία σύμφωνα με την οποία οι Μινωίτες έκτισαν την "Κυδωνία". Από ανασκαφές που έγιναν σε διάφορες συνοικίες, όπως αυτή στο Καστέλι, έγινε γνωστό πως η περιοχή ήταν κατοικημένη από τη Νεολιθική εποχή. Η πόλη αποτέλεσε μετά τη Μινωική εποχή μια σημαντική πόλη-κράτος με όρια από τη θάλασσα μέχρι τους πρόποδες των Λευκών Ορέων. Οι πρώτοι αποικιστές από την ηπειρωτική Ελλάδα ήταν οι Δωριείς γύρω στο 1100 π.Χ.

My most recent make is this ancient Minoan ensemble! It consists of a tunic (heanos) worn under a flounced wraparound skirt shaped like a double-bladed axe (labrys). Despite how heavy the linen skirt is, the entire outfit is surprisingly easy to move around in. I even waded into the river to rescue a bee!

Dionysus and Ariadne for @margaretkart! She's wearing the famous Minoan priestess outfit with belt, apron and flounces, with a pose inspired by classic romance comic artist Nell Brinkley.

Here are some of the pictures of the Minoan/Mycenaean look I did yesterday! Mind you, it's all very generalized since I haven't made any clothing studies from these time periods yet, so I had just grabbed random clothes and jewelry from my closet that I could at least pass off as the ~vibe~ . I went for a pretty simple interpretation of makeup back then and ended up not really putting a whole lot on my face before the decorative elements, just a very thin amount of white foundation, but even so I figured my skin is pretty pale as it is that if this were historical I probably would have just been fairly bare faced anyway in a similar fashion. I tried to stay pretty close to how makeup might be applied back then and not go too anachronistic, and if I did it was for photographic or artistic purposes (namely, light contouring on my nose not for any sort of like, modern feature minimization, but to make sure my own Greek ethnic features weren't flattened by lighting levels or camera perspective)

Overall this was a really fun exploration of historic culture! Seeing the finished makeup on myself kind of brought over this cultural euphoria for me, even though many things have changed since ancient Mediterranean civilizations, there's almost a feeling of sameness in exploring the history of your heritage and seeing someone who looks or feels like you in ancient art. (But also a brief little disclaimer: the Mediterranean has been an extremely diverse region for thousands of years! I'm just one way of looking and that absolutely isn't representative of all people of Greece, neither then nor now!) I want to explore more historical fashions within this realm, and next time try a more extreme version of the makeup, something that feels more on the ceremonial side than casual like this one.

from the museum to your wardrobe

hello!

i’m natasha and i design and make jewellery inspired by the ancient mediterranean world at plato’s fire. i studied classics at the university of st andrews and have been making jewellery since 2016!

my aim is to combine ancient aesthetics with modern materials. my first collections have been inspired by greek vases, mediterranean goldsmiths, and minoan frescoes. each piece is cut out using laser-cutting technology, then painstakingly glued, assembled, and polished by me in my home studio in scotland!

please feel free to send me asks about my work, about the ancient mediterranean, or just scream at me in my inbox about your favourite ancient greek! ✨💛

Left this abandoned in the drafts (which is a bit ironic) but it's a spin on this post, where instead of Apollo just being locked in some room on Olympus somewhere, he's bound to the ruins of an abandoned Ancient Greek city. Maybe somewhere near Delphi, maybe Troy, idk.
