Storyville
The Storyville collection is inspired by the neighborhood of the same name in New Orleans that existed from 1897-1917 and by the photographs taken of it's inhabitants by Ernest J. Bellocq. A "legal" red light district, it was populated with endless colorful characters. Bellocq created a visual history by photographing the prostitutes of the district and in many of the portraits a locket rests prominantely on the decolletage. This collection combines elements antique and new for a modern twist on old fashioned fun. Each locket is named after an especially notable lady or location. The fleur-de-lis (flower of the lily) is a symbol of New Orleans.
