“Back in the 1980s apparently Madonna fell in love with the costumes used in the movie “Dangerous Liaisons” like many of us who love costumes who watched it. However she has contacts most of us don’t and she was actually able to borrow one of Glenn Close’s costumes as the Marquise de Merteuil for the 1990 MTV awards. Here a few pictures costume lovers may enjoy”.

I found this photo and a letter addressed to my lecturer in my folder:
Dear Fashion Style Lecturer,
How am I supposed to only do one page of costumes from the 16th century? To quote Urban Dictionary: Do you realize how unimpossible that is? Even more impossible than impossible. Quite possibly the most impossiblest thing in the world.
THERE ARE TOO MANY! Flemish, Italian, English, Spanish, German, FRENCH! HOW??
Anna Meyer from the Holbein-Madonna painting
