TAYLORS BORN IN PREHISTORIC TIMES

CUTTING AND SEWING: TAYLORS BORN IN PREHISTORIC TIMES

The first clothes found in a cavern in Caucasus.

Linen fibres dating back 30 thousands years.

The first clothes date back to over 30 thousands years ago, to the Upper Palaeolithic, when men where still living on hunting and fishing and they just started to move out of Africa to migrate towards the Est. Some vegetable fibres about 2 cm long have been recovered in the Dzudzuana Cavern in the Caucasus region, in the Republic of Georgia. The threads used to interweave were trapped in 86 clay samples. They testify the human ability to spin, interlace, weave and even stain: dressing has always been an inherent human character.

The discovery is a confirmation of the inborn tendency in humans to use clothing  to communicate and adorn themselves, using them non only for protection but participate to beauty, to aesthetic.

I WOULD HAVE NEVER IMAGINED MY ART WAS SO ANCIENT
