Overview
A breathtaking exploration of style and movement. Featuring more than eighty of today's most famous dancers--captured in movement, and styled in garments designed by some of fashion's biggest names. From renowned photographers Ken Browar and Deborah Ory, the husband-and-wife team behind NYC Dance Project and the best-selling photography book The art of movement, comes the sequel for fans of dance, fashion, and photography. Spotlighting today's greatest dancers--from ballet to modern--in clothing by celebrated designers, this stunning volume examines the relationship between style, fashion, and dance. The pages come to life with the dancers' grace and movement; each becoming one with what they're wearing. Whether in couture gowns from Dior, Valentino, Oscar de la Renta, vintage Halston, and Bill Blass or in costumes designed by Martha Graham herself, the world-famous dancers featured on these pages--including Tiler Peck, Daniil Simkin, Misty Copeland, and Olga Smirnova--bring movement to style. Accompanying the photographs are intimate and inspiring words from the dancers and fashion designers. From Janet Eilber, the Artistic Director of the Martha Graham Dance Company describing Graham's influence on fashion, to Michael Trusnovec, a Paul Taylor dancer describing how vintage tails made him feel like Fred Astaire. With leading dancers from around the world dancing in the most exquisite fashions, Browar and Ory have created unique images of style that are timeless and unlike anything seen in today's fashion photography--Dust jacket flap
