Louis Vuitton Designs Hatsune Miku's Costume for Opera
posted on by Sarah Nelkin
For THE END opera that will be held on December 1 and 2 at the Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media in Yamaguchi City, director Toshiki Okada and digital music artist Louis Vuitton. Louis Vuitton artistic director Marc Jacobs is deg the outfits that Vocaloid idol character Hatsune Miku will wear onstage.
No humans will appear onstage during the opera, even to play the instruments. Instead, Vocaloids will take their place, taking over every aria and recitative. The "actors'" onstage images are designed by artist amazarashi." Shohei Shigematsu, an architect and a partner of OMA New York, is deg the stage.
The clothes Hatsune Miku will wear are clothes based off of Mark Jacobs' spring/summer 2013 collection that were altered in order to fit the virtual singer's body type and unique style. As this is the very first time that outfits from Louis Vuitton will lack the label's signature monogram symbol, the outfits will instead be using a pattern similar to the Louis Vuitton's familiar diamond pattern. The purses have been altered from the standard Louis Vuitton bag into cubical and square shapes to accentuate to the geometric themes.
Tickets were available for pre-order for 3,000 yen ($37), but were sold out as of November 14.
Louis Vuitton also Superflat First Love anime.
