'Sticky & Sweet' - Costume Designs
Costume designs for Madonna's Sticky and Sweet tour have hit the Web!
Madge has teamed up again with designer/stylist Arianne Phillips. The two have worked together for about 11 years.
Phillips also revealed, "Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci designed two outfits and Tom Ford provided bespoke suits for the band. Three pairs of shoes have been custom-made by Miu Miu, there are thigh-high boots courtesy of Stella McCartney, sunglasses from Moschino, and other outfits and odds and ends from Yves Saint Laurent, Roberto Cavalli, and Jeremy Scott."
Also, as in the past, this tour will be divided into four sections.
The first references gangsta pimp and Art Deco with Givenchy costumes. The dominatrix look will be featured prominently:
“It’s a theme that runs throughout her career. She’s not afraid of being hard," said the costume designer.
The second section has been termed “Old School” and looks back at Madge's early days in New York. This section will feature some vintage prints from Keith Haring, the late graffiti artist and friend of Madonna who died of AIDS in 1990. Phillips said, “He and Madonna were friends. If he were alive, it would be his 50th birthday as well. So I thought, ‘What if we revisited that?’"
The third party will be gypsy-influenced and the final section will feature a futuristic rave look with lots of Japanese influences.
Phillips also went on to say that getting older has had little effect on Madge's sense of fashion adventure, “She always wants to push the envelope. There are no vanity considerations based on her age…She looks good in everything.”
Cannot wait 2 see this tour!
