From high starched towers to elaborately pinned, tucked, and embroidered confections of handmade lace, the creations captured here by Charles Freger are as delicate as they are distinctive. Freger has photographed a series of portraits of Breton women of every generation from every region, wearing costumes and headdresses of endless variety. Each costume and headdress may indicate a wearer's village as well as age or status. They are worn for celebrations of marriage, birth, or a local saint's day, or to mark a period of mourning.
