#byronism

they recently released a video about some of the clothing byron purchased in albania and wore in his most famous portrait!

i also found this amazing project where a student recreated some of byron's clothing and 18th/19th century fashion to great effect. the clothes are (or were recently) at newstead abbey and available to be tried on by guests. this might be of interest to you who are into historical costuming recreation.
