Experience this stunning exhibition which showcases a collection of photographs reflecting a decade of collaboration between top fashion houses and the New York City Ballet — all captured through the lens of award-winning photographer Pari Dukovic.

Dukovic sought to create portraits of the dancers in movement, expressed through their instruments—their bodies. His inspirations ranged from Eadweard Muybridge and Edward Steichen to Henri Matisse and Umberto Boccioni, as he honored the years of discipline and hours of practice that became, in a split second, a dancer’s artful athleticism and grace. The same applies to the hard work and creative genius each fashion designer poured into every design.

The 25 images on view include Thom Browne’s distinctively tailored suits, Iris van Herpen’s articulated reflective carapaces, Sarah Burton’s lavish ombré and embellished designs for Alexander McQueen and the late Virgil Abloh’s rigorously ruched tulles. The art forms of photography, dance and fashion culminate in works that seize the heartbeat of a movement, using striking color and arrested movement to generate a visually immersive experience. Be sure not to miss the Audio Guide which Dukovic recorded for this installation.
