I hope you enjoyed your Fat Tuesday and welcome to Lent! Originally the celebration was a religious tradition but has since become more inclusive and commercialized. Although it might not be modern in design, one aspect that fascinates me about the Mardi Gras celebration is all the glitz and glam. So much work and delicate detail are put into some of the disguises and costumes!
Another amazing aspect is the magnitude. Nobody does Fat Tuesday halfway, either you go all out or you’re almost unaware it’s even here. Able to stay with the times while remaining an old practiced tradition, there are many contemporary twists to today’s Mardi Gras celebrations. From jewelry (and I’m not talking about the strands of beads on Bourbon Street), to chic parties to elegant, design intensive costume masks; Mardi Gras is an aesthetic holiday to be admired!
Have an infinitely modern day!
