“Outlander” is one of the series in period costumes to watch without fail.
SERIES – Corsets, petticoats, and bonnets don’t only have their place in museums. The small screen also sometimes gives them pride of place. This is particularly the case in romantic and dramatic series which take place in a past era. Adaptations of cult novels or original screenplays, period costume series are numerous on streaming platforms, and are often very successful. The proof with The Gilded Age.
Season 2 of the HBO series has just started and is available in France via the Prime Video Warner Pass. As a reminder, it depicts the rivalry, in New York at the end of the 19th century, between the old fortunes and the nouveau riche considered as upstarts. The series with Christine Baranski, Carrie Coon, and Cynthia Nixon is a real fashion parade.
