This is the latest version of the dress I'm making for the lead singer Anne, in the Baroque Opera, 'La Deesse et L'Oiseau.
During the piece she removes the various layers to reveal the garment beneath. Although I have given the client designs, with each 'fitting' and discussions about fabrics, new ideas are born, so it really is in a state of constant flux...
The outer layer of the costume will be made in a gunmetal grey, liquid satin which should look metallic, dramatic and rather magical.
The first performances in May will be in Orthez, a local medieval town, then in June it all moves up to a venue in Paris....
