Braavos

While fashion illustrating for Braavos I was really intrigued by the sort of Venice/post-Renaissance obsession with death/mourning and extravagance. This is a city with power, with money, Myrish lace and fabrics so dark they are almost black.

I wanted lots of concealing layers and the slashing needed to be dramatic. If it wasn't giving Three Musketeers it was the wrong vibe. Gems, pearls, lace, feathers, nothing but the whole nine would be acceptable. It's sort of an odd but working chimera between Tudor, 17th century and late Renaissance?

CARRD TO EVERYTHING

ASOIAF Essos Infographic: Braavos

"Braavos is comprised of a hundred islands linked together by small stone bridges spanning the many canals throughout the city. The houses in the humbler regions are tightly packed together, even over the canals.

By and large, Braavosi are a kind people, great lovers of song. Wealthy Braavosi dress in charcoal grey, purple, blues so dark that are almost black, and blacks as dark as moonlight. Sword-wielding bravos, in contrast, dress in flamboyant colors. Keyholders of the Iron Bank wear drab coats of brown and grey. Instead of traveling by horse, the Braavosi use boats." -A Wiki of Ice and Fire (https://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Braavos)
