FionaM Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 How inspiring for the dancers to have these beautiful costumes by fashion design labels. Fabulous collaborations happening with ballet and fashion..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 And, of course, not unique. Karl Lagerfeld designed a tutu for Elena Glurdjidze and Jasper Conran collaborated with both David Bintley and Galina Samsova (when she was AD of Scottish Ballet). Currently to be seen, Oscar de la Renta designed the costumes for Twyla Tharp's Nine Sinatra Songs. Then, of course, Picasso did some set designs as has David Hockney (albeit for opera).

Lizbie1 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) This from Laura Capelle in the FT has taken the shine off a little "...the company’s glitzy season-opening gala featured a one-off performance of a rare ballet by Serge Lifar, 1953’s Variations. Neither the general public nor critics were allowed to see this significant revival: its purpose appeared to be to showcase new costumes by the gala’s sponsor, Chanel." (From the review of a different programme at https://www.ft.com/content/865b72ee-dde9-11e9-b8e0-026e07cbe5b4.) Edited September 23, 2019 by Lizbie1 Autocorrect reversal!

For Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes Picasso did design for “Tricorne”, “Pulcinella”, and “Parade”. There are plenty of pictures on internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) For those who happen to be in Paris over the coming months - there's a new exhibition "couturiers de la danse" at the Centre National du Costume de Scene in Moulins. Direct trains from Paris to Moulins take about 2.5 hours so this should work out just fine as a day trip from Paris. Exhibition site https://www.cncs.fr/couturiers-de-la-danse?language=fr The Centre's web site has an English version but the exhibition opened only a few days ago so no English version for this one yet hence via google translate https://translate.google.de/translate?hl=&sl=fr&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cncs.fr%2Fcouturiers-de-la-danse About 120 costumes designed by Chanel, Versace, Balmain, Givenchy, Lagerfeld, Saint Laurent, Gaultier, Lacroix and others are on display, costumes that were designed for POB as well as for other companies. The exhibition runs until 3 May 2020. The Centre also includes a permanent exhibition about Rudolf Nureyev https://www.cncs.fr/nureyev-collection?language=en-gb, complete with stage costumes, art works that he collected, pictures of Nureyev as well as other aspects of his personal life and artistic career (the French site of this permanent exhibition gives a more detailed description of the contents of this collection). I need to admit that I hadn't heard of Moulins or the Centre previously but the two exhibitions certainly look very interesting and well worth the journey provided that I can make it to Paris before the beginning of May 2020. Edited December 4, 2019 by Duck corrected link to Nureyev exhibition 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
