Mr Lagerfeld hates fat people. Who’s singing (maybe the costumes will not fit)?
It’s a ballet, PF, so no singers!
The triumph of piffle over content.
Presumably this is “Gift” in the German sense?
But the glossies will be all over it, praising his ‘talent’. Should shift a few tickets, in the absence of genuine ability, though.
There’s a huge difference between designing for fashion and designing for the stage. Theatrical costumes exist in a different scale, and a gifted theatrical designer makes subtle comments about the characters and their relationship with each other. In ballet, especially, the ability to move is paramount.
