Original: Forget Quiet Luxury. In Ancient Rome, the Fashion Was Loud.
The New York Times reports that the 'quiet luxury' trend has an ancient counterpoint: in Ancient Rome, elite fashion was deliberately loud and ostentatious. The piece argues that Romans used bold colors, lavish fabrics and conspicuous display to signal status, upending the modern assumption that understated dressing has always been the hallmark of wealth.
Why now: Readers are engaging with a fresh fashion-history angle that challenges the currently popular 'quiet luxury' trend.
