What: “Pari Dukovic: En Pointe—Dance & Fashion”
When: Now through November 16
The Buzz: Displayed in a gallery space for the first time, 30 images by award-winning photographer Pari Dukovic showcase a decade of high-fashion designers’ costumes created for New York City Ballet (NYCB)’s annual Fall Fashion Gala.
Dukovic shot the couture designs on 11 NYCB dancers, and his images capture the beauty and strength of the dancers juxtaposed with the bespoke sophistication of their haute couture ensembles. These include Thom Browne’s distinctively tailored suits, Iris van Herpen’s articulated carapaces, Sarah Burton’s lavish ombré and embellished designs for Alexander McQueen, and Virgil Abloh’s rigorously ruched tulle. Other notable designers whose costumes appear in the exhibit include Prabal Gurung, Carolina Herrera, Narciso Rodriguez, Valentino, Gareth Pugh, and Zac Posen.
