I was so surprised today to see two recent designs of mine popping up in the NEW YORK TIMES...
I designed this tutu and tunic for Joffrey Ballet Dancers Amber Neumann and John Mark Giragosian for their “Paquita” adagio at the New York International Ballet Competition.
Who knew a couple yards of silk, lace, and some hand embroidery would travel so far, Houston to Chicago and then land in NYC at Lincoln Center.
Mark and Amber placed first in the entire competition, Bravo Bravo Bravo.
I have designed and built for Mark several times over the past few years, and he is always a pleasure and joy to work with. I look forward to many more costume adventures with this fine pair.
here is a piece of the review 6-30-09
"Ms. Neumann and Mr. Giragosian really danced this: the warmth and pliancy of her upper body, the courtesy with which he lowered her slowly to the floor from lifts and the keen musical ear they both showed were genuine pleasures, along with the glow they gave off in their costumes and the remarkable harmony they showed when doing the same movements. "
Congratulations Travis! Please note that Mark and Amber actually placed FIRST as silver medalists (since no gold was awarded). Bravo Bravo Bravo to you too!!
