@asta.darling: Fête Galantes 2024 ⚜️ I saved and saved and saved (for almoat two years!) and in December I managed to score tickets to #fetesgalantes at @chateaudeversailles in France. I printed the tickets and wrapped them up for my Mama for Christmas (spoiler alert I lasted five hours and then made her open them). For one night the ghosts of Versailles step down from their paintings and live again. They wind their way through the glittering crowds, footsteps stepping lightly hidden by the swish of taffeta across the floor. Feathers and jewels glint in the mirrors and the ghosts of the Chateau stare out at the crowd satisfied to see the splendor once again restored to the Hall of Mirrors. I never imagined that 13 years later I would be back in Versailles with my Mom. You could say my costuming journey started here, I went home to Singapore inspired to work on my presentation for University. As I stood in the Hall of Mirrors I thought, I wish younger me could see this. We never would have imagined being here right now. As the night drew to an end and the lights began to dim the eyes of the paintings seemed to follow the crowd. Whether it was a brush of feathers against my cheek or a faint goodbye my heart felt full of joy and light. What a night to remember. I have a few thanks here: @adamjamesphillip was the mastermind behind my wig and words cannot express my absolute thanks for the masterpiece I wore.
