Music and fashion are like two peas in a pod, for example Gaultier and Marc Jacobs for Madonna, Thierry Mugler for Beyoncé and now Givenchy for Antony and the Johnsons. Riccardo Tisci has designed a white ‘tiger’ haute couture ballgown for lead singer Antony Hegarty.
Not only did Tisci design a tour ensemble for Hegarty, he even paid homage to the singer’s beloved cat by stitching a felt sculpture in the likeness of the feline on the shoulder of the elaborate, pleated outfit. Givenchy for Antony and the Johnsons is definitely a match made in heaven.
