An Update
By Cornelia Powell | December 15, 2008
I recently attended a Costume Society of America symposium in Williamsburg, Virginia where I gave a paper and PowerPoint presentation: “The Colours of the Goddess Bride, or What Becomes a Legend Most?”.
In honor of “finding the goddess in us all,” I’ll share parts of the talk with you in a future post coming soon — stay tuned!
At the symposium, I enjoyed meeting the keynote speaker, Caroline Weber, author of Queen of Fashion: What Marie Antoinette Wore to the Revolution. It was great being reminded that our knowledge of history is not necessarily accurate and in learning more intimate details of a person’s life, we get to see the real person inside the character — whether a queen, goddess, or just “regular folk”! (Caroline’s book is a great read, by the way.)
More on “the bride as goddess” coming up!
