French gentleman getting dressed in the 18th century.

Dorian Guo, who is passionate about the history of France, the French way of life and the decorative arts of the Enlightenment, invited Antoine Philip to unveil the stages of the dressing of courtiers of the 18th century. In the one of the most opulent private French châteaux - chateau de Villette Paris, we discover how the gentlemen of the French court dress in the time of Marie Antoinette through garments and accessories. The costumes, as well as a couturier of men’s court wear, were made by Antoine Philip himself. If high-class people were at the time dressed by servants, Antoine Philip prefers to dress himself. It is, therefore, more a question of presenting one’s personal “ritual“ in this video, rather than showing what was practiced in the old times.
