THE FALLEN FOLLIES
✵✵✵
The Fallen Follies is a modern critique on the treatment and experiences of the 1920’s American Showgirls, The Ziegfeld Follies. With my research beginning with a study of their costumes, I was particularly drawn to the ones where they embody symbols of light, as it reflects their status within society at the time.
However, the Follies lavish lifestyles were shortlived, as their beauty began to expire society tossed them aside and replaced them with a newer, younger beauties. To reflect this my visual inspiration focused on old, abandoned, chandeleirs, hinting at a previous glamourous, luxurious life.
