Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme
costume for stage project
Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme is a comedic ballet that was written by the French playwright Molière in the 17th century.
The story is about Mr. Jourdain, a "bourgeois", who got rich suddenly and tried to adapt to and embrace life of the higher class.
I chose to place this play in the roaring twenties in the USA because there was a vibe of endless luxurious partying and a society of people who "wanna be" what they were not.
The outfit I designed is for Mrs. Jourdain who had been having a hard time adjusting to societal expectations.
