Here is a quote: "The trend in physiognomy could be seen to further illustrate that with its popularized judgement on the nature of an individual or race being dictated by the appearance of their face and shape of their head. Clothing carried with it the same criterion for judgement, the upper classes had a prescribed look, as did the bohemians, the clerks and the poor. The concept of glamour has had its interpretation vastly reinvented and redefined over time, and is a word whose true meaning revolves around magic and enchantment, a spell or woven illusion. The magical practitioners of the Victorian era were particularly quick to pick up on this, probably as they were themselves more inclined to enjoy the process of dressing up and merrily integrating play acting and dramatic reconstruction into their practice. Witness the Golden Dawn’s use of embroidered robes, classical costumes and Egyptian headdress’, and the notorious magician Alister Crowley, was known for using dramatic clothing and jewellery to communicate his magical presence and prowess. All of these elaborate items of clothing that were indicative of the magical adept were also of course, indicative of financial standing, so there was a show of power on many levels.
