Riccardo Tisci + Opéra Garnier

Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy's first stage collaboration is with Paris's Opéra Garnier, for the ballet Boléro.  Tisci says "Boléro is all about intensity! The music has such an intense feeling. I wanted the dancers to feel naked somehow. The costumes express two sides of me: darkness and romanticism."

I think the costumes are absolutely beautiful. The two aesthetics they represent--"darkness and romanticism"--come together beautifully (as they do in most Tisci creations--which is why I love them so much).

Here they are in action:

Wow.
