"Laguillermie: A Journey through Time and Fashion" Step into the enchanting world of Laguillermie, where history comes alive through vibrant costumes and intriguing characters. Transport yourself to 16th century Venice, as a Venetian man dons his elaborate Venetian costume. The intricate details and rich fabrics tell tales of opulence and grandeur that defined this era. But not all stories from the past are filled with glamour. In another corner of 16th century Venice, witness the tragic tale of a Venetian man killing his wife. This haunting event reminds us that even in the midst of beauty, darkness can lurk. Fast forward to France in the 18th century, where fashion takes center stage. Behold the elegance of a fashionable woman Merveilleuse captured in a print by Carle Vernet. Her exquisite attire reflects her status as she effortlessly exudes grace and sophistication. On the other end of the spectrum lies an Incroyable - a French dandy who defies convention with his eccentric style choices. Carle Vernet's print captures this audacious character perfectly, showcasing their flamboyant outfits that challenge societal norms. Explore further into 18th-century France and encounter captivating scenes like a young woman strolling alongside a small boy or catch sight of Count Vergennes, captain of Gardes de la Porte du Roi – both representing different facets of life during this period. Travel back to Italy in the same era and discover Venetians wearing bauta masks immortalized by Canaletto's painting. These mysterious masks allowed wearers to conceal their identities while indulging in festivities or secret affairs—a symbol shrouded in intrigue. Venture into rural France during the 17th century through Jean de Saint-Jean's prints depicting peasants going about their daily lives or glimpse at women dressed impeccably according to town customs—each showcasing the diversity of society.
