One of my most beloved operas, Léo Delibes’ Lakmé, presents yet another opportunity to clothe ourselves in personalized passions.
In way of introduction, the British regimented Gérald falls for
the exotic Brahmin priestess Lakmé
The romance initiates with the bewitching flower duet, the ensembles follow:
Eastern inspired adornments reminisce the jewelry Lakmé removes at the pool, thus orchestrating the lovers’ introduction.
The indigenous ikat pattern weaves color and pattern like the opera weaves rhythm and tone.
A contrasting companion to the unorthodox blouse, a prim midi-skirt with rows of Victorian buttons at the hips.
To finish, a traditional oxford with an untamed tangerine twist.
This ensemble juxtaposes the East Indian ikat against military style adornments, symbolizing the unexpected romance binding Officer Gérald and Hindu elite Lakmé
What are you listening to right now? Or who is your favorite musician.
