1.OverView:

In this section there was some information of the renaissance and the changes that followed through Italy and Europe between the 12th century to the 15th century. The reformation of clothing and the impact of the crusaders and wars. Also in the begining was the dream of every girl's prince in the shiny armor suit. And there it desribes to us what the person will personalize or present themselves as while wearing the suit.
