A wardrobe, also known as an armoire from the French, is a standing closet used for storing clothes. The earliest wardrobe was a chest, and it was not until some degree of luxury was attained in regal palaces and the castles of powerful nobles that separate accommodation was provided for the apparel of the great. The name of wardrobe was then given to a room in which the wall-space was filled with cupboards and lockers, the drawer being a comparatively modern invention. From these cupboards and lockers the modern wardrobe, with its hanging spaces, sliding shelves and drawers, evolved slowly.
Etymological origins of the name can be traced to the Middle English rendering of the ancient French term, garderobe with the semantic import of a private store. Its more precise language origin is armoire for Francophone speakers. The 17th and 18th centuries marked the baroque period’s versatile exploitation of the wardrobe which helped it transmute to the modern type. In the Americas, oaken structures referred to as the tallboys were much in appeal though they later changed to the walnut types after the passage of oak as the hitherto preferred timber and partly due to the partial extinction in virgin forests of the latter wood. At first, the progress from the normal cabinet to the now fully-fledged structure was marked with bulky shelves and drawer-straddled wardrobes for a century or so before the now minimalist walled-in style became the functional norm.
Britney Jean Spears (born December 2, 1981) is an American recording artist and entertainer. Born in McComb, Mississippi, and raised in Kentwood, Louisiana, Spears began performing as a child, landing acting roles in stage productions and television shows. She signed with Jive Records in 1997 and released her debut album ...Baby One More Time in 1999, which became the best-selling album by a teenage solo artist. During her first decade in the music industry, she became a prominent figure in mainstream popular music and popular culture, followed by a much-publicized personal life. Her first two albums established her as a pop icon and broke sales records, while title tracks "...Baby One More Time" and "Oops!... I Did It Again" became international number-one hits. Spears was credited with influencing the revival of teen pop during the late 1990s, and became the 'best-selling teen aged artist of all time' before she turned 20, garnering her the honorific title of "Princess of Pop".
