MINOAN CULTURE
C.3000 - 1500BCE
Centered on the island of Grete, the Minoan civilization was at its height around 1600BCE;
it was advanced and prosperous with widespread trade contacts.
Minoan dress from this isolated island society stands out among other ancient European Bronze Age cultures for its cut and stitched body-hugging garments.
The small, cinched waist, a key feature of both male and female attire, was emphasized in women by the hats, hairstyles, and embellished sleeves worn above, and the wide, flounced skirts below.
Men wore peaked caps, wrapped loincloths around their hips, and showed off their bare torsos-although tunics appeared in the later years of Minoan civilization.
The art of weaving complicated, patterned wool cloths flourished on the peaceful, wealthy island and clothing was more elaborate than that of later mainland Greek people.
Minoan ideas influenced fashion in Egypt.

米诺斯文化
公元前3000年--公元前1500年
以克里特岛为中心，米诺斯文明在公元前1600年就达到一定高度。
它曾是先进与繁荣的贸易中心。
来自这个独立小岛的米诺斯服装因为它独特的紧身裁剪和缝合，使之从其他古欧洲青铜器时代文明中脱颖而出。
小而收紧的腰带，是男性与女性服装的一个关键特点，女性强调帽子，发型，美化的袖子还有宽荷叶边的裙子。
男性戴有帽檐的帽子，缠腰布包裹在臀部，虽然之后几年长袍在米诺斯文化中出现但人们仍旧乐于展示他们裸露的躯体。
在这个平静富有的小岛上，付复杂的编织艺术，图腾羊毛服装兴盛，这些服饰比之后出现的希腊人服饰更加精致。
米诺斯灵感影响着埃及的时尚潮流。
迈錫尼（古希腊），以及更远的地方。
