Posted on October 19, 2009
Academy Award winning costume designer Colleen Atwood, (Chicago, Memoirs of a Geisha) collaborated with Swarovski to embellish costumes for the cast of Nine. Over 1 million Chrystallized Swarovski Elements were used to embellish the costumes of the all star cast. Crystal adorns thirty-six costumes including a crystal mesh dress worn by Kate Hudson (pictured above), a basque worn by Penelope Cruz, an evening dress worn by Nicole Kidman and twenty-five showgirl outfits in the Folies Bergeres number.
Nine is a new musical from Rob Marshall, the Oscar nominated director of Chicago. Nine follows the life of world famous film director Guido Contini (Daniel Day-Lewis) as he reaches a creative and personal crisis of epic proportion, while balancing the numerous women in his life including his wife (Marion Cotillard), his mistress (Penelope Cruz), his film star muse (Nicole Kidman), his confidant and costume designer (Judi Dench), a young American fashion journalist (Kate Hudson), the whore from his youth (Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson) and his mother (Sophia Loren). The original 1982 Broadway production of Nine won five Tony Awards and was directed by Tommy Tune. Nine arrives in theatres on November 25th.
