Prabal Gurung, Olivier Theyskens and Iris Van Herpen Design for The New York City Ballet
I am loving all of the collaborations between fashion designers and The New York City Ballet. It's a beautiful thing. I was mesmerized by Valentino's New York City Ballet Collection, and now Prabal Gurung, Theyskens and Van Herpen can be added to that list. Below are some pictures and videos from each collection. The process is pretty tedious and lengthy. Each outfit has to be tested on dancers and there are a lot of approvals that are required. Prabal's designs are my favorite and could actually be worn as real-life dresses. Enjoy! Happy Friday! It's the weekend! :)

ReplyDeleteHi Kim! What a great post idea. Love this kind of collaborations too since I am a huge NYC Ballet fan. All the collections are amazing but I agree with you, the Prabal Gurung designs are also my fav. Kisses dear, happy Friday! xo
ReplyDeleteSO flipping cool.
ReplyDeleteWow, they are such lovely designs! Ballet is a wonderful way to showcase clothes now that I think of it. Maybe they will have ballet on the catwalks next! :)

I adore this look! A few years ago TranquiliT sold a ballet-inspired spring collection, and I bought a few pieces. They are still closet faves of mine! xo T. http://tickledpinkwoman.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThe Prabal designs are gorgeous and could definitely be worn outside the ballet! Have a great weekend, Kim!

Fashion and the ballet really seem to be marriage made in heaven! All the designs are gorgeous and they look even more beautiful when the dancers are performing on stage.

I found this such an interesting post, Kim, as I think I've mentioned before how much I love ballet having had lessons until I was seventeen. What a great collaboration and I can imagine how robust the costumes have to be. You have reminded me that I haven't been to watch a ballet for a while. I would love to see the New York City Ballet one day. Have a lovely weekend!

I practised ballet from the time I was six until I was nineteen... and I admit, my favourite part was always the costumes we got to wear for recitals, even though they never lived up to what I hoped for. But these... these... the results of these collaborations are divine, and exactly what I dreamed of for all those years!

ReplyDeleteI love ballet, I think that for a designer it must be a honour to dress the finely shaped and graciously moving bodies of the dancers. It's a win win. Now heading off to your second post on Paris :-) Love
