Ballet Has Become Popular Culture.
The participation of fashion, film and television is making ballet come out of the ivory tower and become a new hot spot that everyone will be interested in.
The British National Ballet decided to take the ride and redefine ballet.
The British National Ballet (ENB) will hold a T Ballet Dress show at the end of this month, featuring designer dancers including Erdem, GilesDeacon, Moschino and Bruce Oldfield.
They will be interpreted by famous ballet dancers and then auctioned off.
The event will be held at the orange garden in Kensington Palace, London.
According to Mr. Craig Hassall, general manager of ENB, it will be "a redefinition of ballet".
Since this season, "people have great enthusiasm for all things related to ballet", the ballet also decided not to let this opportunity of wealth slip away.
This is not the first time ballet has used fashion to bring it closer to fashion people.
In the 20s of last century, Sergei Diaghilev, a ballet tycoon, CO worked with CocoChanel to invite Coco to design a set of modern knitted silk dance suits for his repertoire, the Le Train Bleu.
Since then, ballet and fashion have started to walk side by side.
Designers including Christian Lacroix and Jasper Conran have designed dance dresses for large ballet dancers, and the costumes of ballet also inspired countless designers. Earlier, there were Yves SaintLaurent 1976 autumn and winter series, and a recent designer Erdem's new work.
"In France and Spain, watching ballet is not a strange thing, just like watching a ball game, which is also the image we want to create for ballet."
Mr. Hassall, who was responsible for the Sydney Olympic cultural events, said: "our ultimate goal is to make young people realize that ballet can also be fun."
Influenced by B B C's recent documentary about ballet, Agony a ndEcstasy, ballet has a more masculine side and an audience.
The 25 year old ENB dancer Max Westwell, who starred in the film, received a snowy letter from Facebook's new fans of ballet.
Max said: "this reaction is really surprising.
Ballet is usually regarded as a pure spring, but this program shows its side, such as teamwork, coping with stress and so on.
Now my friends who play rugby will come to see me perform. Ballet dancer seems to be a cool thing. "
The potential of ballet to express the art of avant-garde will be further excavated in September this year, which is the exhibition of "Degas and ballet" to be held by ENB.
It is said that this exhibition challenges people's impression that the works of De Jia are like the warm and soft impression of "chocolate box", showing the other side of the painter as an "extremely radical and daring and innovative artist", Ann Dumas, the curator of the exhibition.
Last year, at the Victoria &Albert Museum in England, an exhibition of Sergei Diaghilev and the Russian ballet attracted one hundred thousand spectators.
Ballet has gradually penetrated into pop culture, including pop singers such as Kanye West and Cheryl Cole, who have launched ballet themed MV.
But not everyone welcomed the increasingly close relationship between ballet and fashion.
Two years ago, the British National Ballet invited Karl Lagerfeld to design a costume for its chief dancer, Elena Glurdjidze, in the ballet "Swan's death".
The participation of Lager feld brought the performance to the headlines of all the fashion magazines of the time, and attracted a tabloid reporter to come around on the opening day, but professional critics of ballet expressed disdain.
An ostrich fur collar designed by Lagerfeld is especially criticized because the neck line is crucial to the actor's swan role, but it is blocked by this collar.
Perhaps because of this, the new ballet dress exhibition was decided to be held on stage T instead of on stage.
"Ballet is an art form with a long tradition and very high professional skills," Hassall said.
"We may be dissatisfied with some of this, but we must take the risk."
Glory is always accompanied by right and wrong.
The most symbolic combination of ballet and fashion is the 1924 Coco Chanel costume designed for the ballet "blue train".
Today, the series of clothes designed by Coco has been promoted to legend. Their photos are used as propaganda in the Diaghilev exhibition at the V&A Museum.
At that time, however, the design of Coco also revealed many problems existing in the running in of fashion and ballet.
After arriving at the dress rehearsal scene, she could see that her design had many defects, and even the Pearl Earrings worn by the female dancers seemed so incompatible.
Perhaps the best way to combine ballet and fashion is to invite fashion designers to play a serious role in repertoire creation.
Jasper Conran has designed several ballet dresses, and his designs are not only beautiful ballet dresses, but also drama suits, ingenious designs and creative costumes.
Also worthy of commendable is the 2009 Alexander McQueen costume for the famous ballet dancer, Sylvie Guillem, in the dance drama "Eonnagata".
The design of McQueen has gone through a long time of deliberation and discussion. In the dress rehearsal test, he has no complaints about making further changes to suit the needs of the actors better.
