Musicals + Costumes: Six (2020 Broadway) by Gabriella Slade
I met with Lucy, Jamie, and Toby, and they presented to me the idea that the queens were kind of influenced by certain contemporary pop artists; there’s a link between [Catherine of] Aragon and Beyoncé; between Catherine Parr and Alicia Keys; between Jane Seymour and Adele. This show is presented as a pop concert. It’s not the standard musical, so in terms of design, I really wanted to make sure we had elements of contemporary pop fashion and style and an absolute fusion with historical details. It was [creating] links between then and now. Fabric-wise, I wanted to keep it vibrant, something that looked amazing with the light, so that’s why I chose all the vinyls and the foils and the metallic trim.
