Cone bras! Rumoured Wang getups! All the scoop (and sketches!) on Madonna’s upcoming MDNA tour costumes
It should come as no surprise that Her Madgesty is going to be royally decked out for her upcoming MDNA concert tour. The fact that Jean Paul Gaultier, her long-time collaborator (and creator of that oh-so-famous conical bra), is already on board is reason enough to get excited about the costumes, but now WWD is reporting that Jeremy Scott and Alexander Wang will both be creating stage outfits as well.
Madge will be running through no less than eight outfit changes during the concert, from a metal mesh warrior number to a sleek cat woman suit, though we doubt any will be as exciting to see as her Jean Paul Gaultier “Vogue” number. Drawing heavy inspiration from the iconic powder pink bra worn during her ‘90s Blond Ambition tour, Gaultier has designed a 3D recreation of the conical bra out of a combination of patent and metallic leather. It will be tethered around a strong but sexy menswear look, complete with a pair of pinstripe trousers, a button-down shirt and a black tie. For a little taste of fetishism (it’s Madonna, after all), the whole look is topped off with elbow-length black leather gloves.
“It’s all about masculine and feminine, Madonna and Jean Paul Gaultier classics reinterpreted for 2012,” the designer said.
For those of us who have pored over Madonna’s many fashion moments as much as her music, the stage during the MDNA concert tour will be eye-candy overload. Aside from Madge’s costume design trio, Dolce & Gabbana will be designing suits for her band, Fausto Puglisi is creating veritable art pieces for the backup dancers (including ram’s head masks and bandolier vests) and J Brand will be designing custom-made jeans. Oh, and Madonna’s high-octane performances will all be danced away in Prada and Miu Miu shoes.
Madge… you’ve outdone yourself yet again.
