PURE ART

The Royal Court of Versailles was a world of elegance. The bright colours worn by the courtesans resembled an exotic jungle. During their travels, they developed dazzling colours and bewitching fragrances. At the oriental markets, the rolls of fabrics gave a pale hint of their beauty. To reach Europe, they had to travel through thousands of miles of desert. Then they crossed the seas. At Versailles, it was rumoured that Queens adored these silks for the harmony of their blues.
