Style in Steel: Plate Armor as Fashion
I often observe 21st century people dismiss beautiful armors as purely decorative objects. Folks look at these harnesses, conclude that they seem too beautiful for the battlefield, and just write them off as “parade” armors that sat in some castle unused and pristine, only donned for ceremony or for portraiture. But people of the past deeply understood how fashion and function could be blended to create objects of immense beauty and influence.
