Beyoncé will be remaking Levi’s iconic “Laundrette” ad from the 1950’s, with her Cowboy Carter track “Levii’s Jeans” - dropping 30th September. #Laundrette
Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s “Landscape with the Flight into Egypt” 1563, depicts the biblical story of the Virgin Mary, Joseph and their infant son Jesus on their way to Egypt to flee persecution. The broad valley and dramatic peaks represent the long and arduous journey ahead. The Holy Mother wears an unusual red cloak in the painting rather than her traditional blue.
Beyoncé appears in the RENAISSANCE World Tour visuals in Balmain’s RENAISSANCE Couture, a hooded crimson red velvet draped jumpsuit with “Landscape with the Flight into Egypt” in the background.
Beyoncé being the Holy Mother here and the infant being “Reneigh” as the BeyHive endearingly calls the disco mirrored horse, a personification of RENAISSANCE the album, in her womb as she gives birth to the tour on stage, which was a “long and arduous journey,” 4 years in the making.
RENAISSANCE the album and CLUB RENAISSANCE has been celebrated by fans and music critics across the world and now the tour, as a form of escape for queer folks of all backgrounds and ethnicities providing them a safe space to share joy and love and live their truth.
