With flamboyance as one of their many common grounds, it is but natural for the worlds of fashion and opera to enchantingly collide. As Greek journalist, author and opera specialist Helena Matheopoulos writes in her book Fashion Designers at the Opera, these two artistic domains are “natural arenas for collaboration.”

Working from London, she cites likes of Dutch fashion house Viktor & Rolf, Italian designer Miuccia Prada, and French fashion designers Emanuel Ungaro and Christian Lacroix as having sought inspiration from performances at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, La Scala, the Metropolitan Opera and the Arènes de Nîmes among others.
