Last September 9, Madonna kicked off her Rebel Heart Tour at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada. On stage, she revealed the outfits that have been created for her and her dancers by Alessandro Michele, Gucci’s Creative Director.
Alessandro Michele says: ‘It has been a marvellous experience and a great gift collaborating with Madonna. Now that I have had the chance to see her working, I truly understand why she is so grand! I believe she is a true artist and I am crazy about her.’
Madonna wears an exotic gypsy outfit by Gucci comprising a lurex-lace-and-jacquard bodysuit with an embroidered belt, lace short sleeves, and multicoloured trimmings, plus a black crêpe de Chine skirt with embroidered patches and black georgette ruffles, a black crêpe de Chine and georgette shawl with embroidered patches and silk fringes, lace gloves with pleated jacquard ruffles, and to finish it off, high-heeled knee-high lace-up leather boots and a black hat adorned with silk flowers.
Her dancers complement her in Gucci patchwork bodysuits with a mix of ruffles and multicoloured trimmings, and embroidered belts. These are then teamed with multicoloured floral headpieces; pleated jacquard neckpieces; lurex shrugs featuring pleated ruffles on the sleeves and multicoloured silk flowers; brocade jackets sporting silk flowers, embroidered patches and lace pleated ruffles at the bottoms of the sleeves; and lace Tehuana-inspired capes with multicoloured silk flowers.
The Rebel Heart Tour will visit 20 cities in North America and 16 cities in Europe and the UK through the end of 2015 with additional concert dates in the US, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia already confirmed for 2016.
In the Philippines, Gucci is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc., a member of SSI Group, Inc., and is located at Greenbelt 4, Ayala Center and Level 1, Shangri-La Plaza East Wing. Visit www.ssilife.com.ph for further information.
