As the MetGala approaches, Vogue unearthed the best Gilded Age-era covers and fashion from our archives
”—or, in more explanatory terms, their own interpretation of formal Gilded Age fashions from 1870 to 1899.
Mark Twain coined the term “The Gilded Age” in 1873 to describe the dichotomous time in this country’s history. There was explosive economic and industrial growth, yet along with it, great political corruption. Families like the Vanderbilts and Carnegies amassed outrageous fortunes, while millions of immigrant ones arrived at Ellis Island in search of a better, more prosperous future. All the while, the city of New York emerged as a financial and cultural epicenter of this country.
Fashion, too, reflected this wildly changing time of society and its norms. Clothing became grander and more over-the-top, a reflection of the time’s prosperity as well as technological advances in textile production, which led to an influx of silk, tulle, and lace. The 1880s, for example, saw men embrace the tuxedo from England, and women adorn themselves in highly formal fashions like bustles and extravagant hats.
