So, yes, Marie Antoinette is a symbol of decadence, frivolity and perhaps materialistic compulsion, but she's also the young teen queen of fashion. Two years ago, I was lucky enough to catch the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute's
"Dangerous Liaisons: Fashion and Furniture in the 18th Century" showcasing the style Marie sported. (I also saw Coppola's movie, which was really only worth watching for the aesthetics...and shoes).
I was delighted to come across some more gorgeous imagery today via
Paris Atelier, who suggests stopping by
The Costumes of Marie Antoinette to make you wish you had twenty people dressing you every morning in hoops, hats, feathers, and finery...I love this seal, Marie's, that she highlights:
A perfect image to build a boudoir around?
