The French court in the 18th century exemplified the lavish lifestyle of French royals that flourished under the reign of Louis XIV. Not only directors but also designers have been continually inspired by that era of fashionable dresses, stylized silhouettes and extravagant wigs. Now an exhibition called"the 18th Century Back in fashion"in Versailles near Paris showcases the pomp of yesteryear in dialogue with the catwalks of today.
