Révolution Rococo – Teacher: BB le Buff **FULLY BOOKED**
Rococo: florid or excessively elaborate A significant shift in culture occurred in France at the beginning of the 18th century. Ironically, the single most important figure to establish Rococo fashions was Louis XV’s mistress Madame Pompadour. She adored pastel colors and the light, happy style which came to be known as Rococo. Towards the end of the period, Marie Antoinette became the leader of French fashion, as did her dressmaker Rose Bertin. Extreme extravagance was her trademark, which ended up majorly fanning the flames of the French Revolution. Join BB for this decadent burlesque class (we’ll let you eat cake!).
