Yuima Nakazato often combines the spiritual and the theatrical in his shows, and this season was no exception. His recent work on costumes for Mozart’s opera “Idomeneo” got under his skin, it seems, and this time it was the set design for the production, which opened in Geneva in February, that ran through his designs.
Red ropes, a key element in the staging, wove their way like arteries through his designs thanks to a combination of techniques, from fringing to an erratic association of threadwork, crochet and lace or organza piping and digital prints. “All humans have red color inside the body,” he said backstage, nodding to the fragility and intricacy of human nature.
Ceremonial robe-like pieces and voluminous tailoring representing armor — a reference to the ancient Greek setting of the opera as well as today’s workaday uniforms we hide our true selves behind — were peeled away as his models walked down the runway. They shed their black outer layers to reveal the vivid web-like structures below, leaving them trailing, attached to the silhouette to reveal the fragility within.
Dancers on the runway, standing on circular mirrors on the floor past which the models walked, wore costumes embroidered with hundreds of ceramic pendants specially made in-house to clink together as they danced a choreography by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, with whom the designer collaborated on “Idomeneo.”
“The dresses become an instrument, creating very primitive sounds,” Nakazato explained, a contrast with the classical arrangements in the background.Tyla Models Knit Leopard Print Minidress on 'The Kelly Clarkson Show,' Talks Viral Met Gala LookPrincess Charlene of Monaco, Halle Berry and More Stars Lead Olympic….
