“Someone being able to lift their leg above their head wasn’t something I had to think about when designing my last collection,” says @Erdem, on designing costumes for the @royaloperahouse production, Corybantic Games. The brand new work by choreographer Christopher Wheeldon (@wheeldony) is part of a triple bill to celebrate the centenary of composer Leonard Bernstein’s birth. In the naturally lit Margot Fonteyn studio, principals Lauren Cuthbertson (@londonballerina) and Ryoichi Hirano (@riohirano) dance around each other sculptural and delicately interlacing movements, echoing @erdem’s Grecian-inspired bodices with their graphic velvet crisscross ribbon details. They are accompanied by the gentle sound of “Serenade (after Plato’s Symposium)” on piano, which Bernstein composed in 1954. “With Erdem, I wanted [the costumes] to draw on some of the airy parts of the music – the poetic qualities – but keep the body clean for the movement,” Wheeldon tells Vogue about the collaboration. “There are some knotty cross rhythms and it’s quite angular, so I wanted a combination of softness and angles and I think he has done a really fabulous job in delivering that.” See the rehearsals and #voguefirstlook at the costumes in our Stories #ROHBernstein
