The Brussels Tango Festival starts next week, and this means I will be taking thousands of photos again. One way to keep those photos interesting is by suggesting the dancers to use a dress code for every night. It made for beautiful results the previous years. So here are the themes for this year:
Gitana: Carmen meets Serge Bainsbourg, gypsy, folklore, flamenco, wide skirts, bellybuttons, flowers, red, huge earrings
Marinero: horizontal stripes, sailor hats, the color marine, captains
Fabulous Fifties: Mad Men, red carpet, rboes, broches, pearl earrings
Années Folles: (Roaring Twenties) Great Gatsby meets Carlos Gardel, fedora, tiara, jazz & swing, pearl necklaces
Pulp Fiction: black suits, white open shirt, facial hair, cowboy style, Smith & Wesson, and crazy stuff
