Fashion designer and Dior Artistic Director Maria Grazia Chiuri has announced she'll design costumes for Works & Process's production of Falls the Shadow, an immersive dance performance created by American Ballet Theatre principal Daniil Simkin, to be performed in the rotunda of New York's Guggenheim Museum.

The costumes have been designed to incorporate the production's 'immense technical specifications' and 'intensify' the choreography, and Chiuri commented 'I imagined the costumes beginning with the body’s expressive role in dance: they’re skintight and above all support the subtle gestures, flexible poses, and sinuous movements... I think the costumes contribute to the architecture of the performance and are tools to define the body, together immersing and isolating it from the projections on the rotunda. In that sense, they are part of the performers’ experience, who feel them on their bodies, but also of the audience, who are participating in such a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience'.
