The photo series Madame Deficit by Bartlomiej Chabalowski, a photographer based in Poland, is aptly titled. Inspired by the nickname of Marie Antoinette, who was known for "spending more than twice her allowance on 172 new gowns, ordered in one year alone," notes Fashionising, it showcases outfits that the Queen of France would be proud to wear in modern times. Of course, these overtly feminine and regal ensembles would still gain some stares, which would only be appropriate for her.
Although shot in studio against a plain backdrop, Madame Deficit by Bartlomiej Chabalowski is utterly eye-catching. With hair, make-up and styling by Marcin Kulak, the looks are full of frilly details, loose locks and a flawless face.
