Halloween, una delle feste più amate dai bambini e non solo, il 31 ottobre viene celebrarata princialmente negli Stati Uniti, ma da qualche decennio anche in tantissime altre parti del mondo. Le sue origini risalgono alla civiltà celtica. Erano infatti proprio gli antichi Celti, abitanti della Gran Bretagna, Francia e Irlanda, che festeggiavano l'inizio del nuovo anno, il 1°novembre: giorno che "dichiarava" l'arrivo del freddo e delle "tenebre".
I simboli che caratterizzano la festa di Halloween , sono macabri e paurosi, ma nello stempo misteriosamente affascinanti: la luna, la scopa, la zucca, i gatti neri, i teschi, le streghe... Quante cose si potrebbero raccontare sulle streghe! Esistono? Nel mondo della fantasia sicuramente si! Protagoniste di tantissime fiabe, buone o cattive, hanno sempre incuriosito la fantasia di tutti i bambini ( e anche la mia :-) ).
Ed è proprio da strega che ho voluto "trasformarmi": una strega glam, eterea e sognatrice.
Un lungo ed elegantissimo abito viola, capelli elegantemente raccolti , trucco e smalto leggeri e iridescenti , pochi accessori e tanta, tantissima fantasia... Un viaggio a ritroso nel tempo tra dimore medievali, immagini votive, fontane, colonne nel piccolo e magico villaggio di Grazzano in stile neo-gotico Giuseppe Visconti di Modrone...
Halloween, one of childrens most loved festivities. Celebrated mainly in the US, on the 31st of October, it has since spread right across the world. Its origins date back to the Celtics. The Celts, inhabitants of Great Britain, France and Ireland celebrated the beginning of the New Year on the 1st of November: the day they declared the arrival of the cold weather and darkness.
The symbols which characterize Halloween are macabre and scary, but at the same time mysteriously fascinating: the moon, broomstick, pumpkin, black cats, skulls, witches...So many stories could be told about witches! Do they exist? Definately in the fantasy world! They are the protaginists of so many fairytales, good and bad, and they have always intrigued both big and small's fantasies (even my own!)
And it is exactly as a witch that I wanted to transform myself: a glam witch, ethereal and dreamlike.
An elegant, long purple gown, hair elegantly pinned back, light and iridescent make-up and nail-varnish, just a few accessories and lots and lots of fantasy... a journey back in time between medieval dwellings, votive images, fountains, columns, all in the small and magical village of Grazzano, typically neo-gothic Giuseppe Visconti di Modrone style....
