Fashion and ballet have combined in a new relationship between Arrowtown-based fashion accessories designer Tamsin Cooper and the Royal New Zealand Ballet (RNZB).
Cooper has been commissioned by the RNZB to design and produce a luxurious range of merchandise that would appeal both to dance audiences and fans of the talented designer. She is the first designer to be approached by the RNZB to create such a range.
The accessories have been designed to offer a range of beautiful products to lovers of the ballet, from budding ballerinas to those who regularly attend RNZB performances.
The range is striking in black, pale and dusky pink, and ruby red and is exquisitely handembroidered with a ballet-slipper design on lustrous 100 per cent silk and sumptuous velvet. It includes Cooper's iconic brooches, hair-ties, compact mirror, a silk shoe bag and shoulder bag, pendant necklace, evening clutch bag and other accessories.
