Why has the world suddenly toned down? why minimalism? well, minimalism is chic, but.... regal and royal beauty is part of human history and nature... With that, i guess many people do share the same passion as i do, since we can all see many faithful adaptations of the marie antoinette style gowns.
For the super rich in this contemporary world, you have couture to turn to. For romantic designers that feel the passionate beckoning of the golden eras, like Galliano for Dior and Christian Lacroix, you can relive history at its best, through the modern intepretations of these coutouriors. Photos below are all from Dior.
For the public, dont despair, as there are also lots to choose from. Replica gowns are made and sold by many costume makes and seamstresses, they play a crucial part in letting us remember and actually feel how it was for baroness and queens by wearing the same dresses they did back then.
Though they are replicas, they are still exquisite and remains quite true to history. (Not to mention affordable as well...) Feel like owning one?well, feast your eyes first~
