This design is by Tomas Maier  from his 2015 RTW collection on www.style.com

i feel this doesn't bring out most elements to the era Renaissance nut i believe a few element in this picture relates to some key features such as the woman foot wear the Chopines because of the unique shape. The point of the toes and the fit looks similar plus embroidery mostly over the front of the shoes, also the rich colour blue = a rich look.

The second element i would like to point out id the skirt, it has the same high waist element to the early renaissance period where they would wear there skirts high waisted. also the long length is also another key feature that relates to the full length clothing and coverage back then. also another key feature for th e skirt is the square waist line is signified by the belt and looks the the square waistline in renaissance period. 

The colours also relate back to the renaissance period is the amount of colours. many rich people wore many different colour a once and poor people were only aloud to wear one colour at a time ( thats where slashing come into) to signify the different between poor and rich. this image reminds me of that because all the different colour palettes she is wearing and it signify a rich person.
