Theme: Masquerade Ball with the Four Elements

The thought of the Masquerade Ball brought Tilly to Venice, in the middle of its Carnival and then back in time, to the French Court of Queen Marie Antoinette. Tilly has revised the richness and splendor of shapes and colors and wanted to reproduce this with the double and large collar and with wings. Why wings? Because they represent air and fire at the same time because the draped movement and the colors recall the dance of flames that stand out high in the sky. The dress is blue, reminiscent of water, as well as the small lights that rise along the body. And then the earth, in the decorations in the hair and around the hips; both for the colors chosen and for what they represent. Finally, on the eyes, a mask whose most significant and recurring function is that of a communication tool between men and the divinity, as it allows one to detach oneself from space-time conventions to project oneself into an 'other', divine world , ritual, mystical. The result was meant to be flashy but at the same time elegant and harmonious, just as the 4 elements that allow life in perfect balance and synergy are harmonious.
