Queen also of style: tribute to Marie Antoinette in France on the threshold of the revolution. Unique piece from the _Journey through the History of Fashion_ collection.
In interpreting a controversial historical figure like Queen Marie Antoinette, we chose to refer to the turning point in her style that caused the most scandal and sensation in France on the threshold of the Revolution: the one in which the queen literally took off the pompous clothes still in vogue at the Court of France, to move towards greater sobriety and freshness in clothing. A turning point made famous by the painting by Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun which portrays her in a vaporous dressing gown, which later became an iconic garment for the fashion of the time with the nickname of Chemise à la Reine. Rethinking this garment in a contemporary key, we have therefore transformed the historic dress into a vaporous duster coat in voile, tulle and silk satin, embellished with hand-embroidered inserts and jeweled buttons. A garment that stands out for its versatility and which can be perfectly combined with an evening or formal dress, or used as a fresh overcoat, ideal for both casual and elegant outfits. Materials: tulle, cotton, satin
