I love the royal purple gown. Must have looked amazing onstage.
Check out the back of the blue dress. The detail is amazing.

On a similiar note, the New York Opera has allowed artist E.V. Day to scrounge through their collection and transform some of their most amazing gowns into sculptural displays in the Lincoln Center lobby. The way the dresses are displayed give off such an eerie feeling that it reminds the viewer of how theater is a sort of means of raising the dead. I have to say this is one of the best art shows I have heard about in a long time. Read the NYTimes article HERE and check out the full slideshow HERE.
