About Pari Dukovic: En Pointe – Dance & Fashion:
Pari Dukovic: En Pointe - Dance & Fashion features 25 photographs representing a decade of 29 high-fashion designers' costumes created for the New York City Ballet (NYCB)'s annual Fall Fashion Gala, launched by Sarah Jessica Parker in 2012. Dukovic shot the couture designs on 11 of NYCB's renowned dancers for the Rizzoli book, New York City Ballet: Choreography & Couture, by NYCB Director of Costumes Marc Happel. The book features 200 pages of Dukovic's images and a foreword by Parker.
The images capture the ethereal beauty and strength of the dancers, juxtaposed with the handmade detail and sophistication of haute couture. Striking color and arrested movement portraits will create a visually immersive experience enhanced by an Audio Guide, which Dukovic recorded for The Kravis Center.
Highlights include photographs of the dancers wearing Thom Browne's distinctively tailored suits, Iris van Herpen's articulated reflective carapaces, Sarah Burton's lavish ombré and embellished designs for Alexander McQueen, and the late Virgil Abloh's rigorously ruched tulle. Other notable designers whose costumes appear in the exhibition include Prabal Gurung, Carolina Herrera, Narciso Rodriguez, Valentino, Gareth Pugh, and Zac Posen.
