This collection of photographs represents my collaboration with New York City Ballet. I worked with a number of costumes under the guidance of Deanna McBrearty, accomplished former dancer for the NYCB. Our focus was to photograph vintage ballet costumes designed and created by legendary costumier Barbara Karinska. The subsequent collection of images was exhibited at Lincoln Center in New York.
As a couturier and costume designer in Hollywood and New York, Karinska's masterful interpretations of Balanchine's choreography and vision helped propel New York City Ballet into the company that it is today.
