Glamour and art have combined in a new relationship between Arrowtown-based fashion accessories designer Tamsin Cooper and the Royal New Zealand Ballet.
Cooper has been commissioned by the RNZB to design and produce a luxurious range of merchandise that would appeal both to the dance audiences and fans of the talented designer. She is the first-ever designer to be approched 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 the RNZB performances.
The range is striking in black, pale and dusky pink and ruby red and is exquisitely hand embroidered with a ballet-slipper design on lustrous 100 percent silk and sumptuous velvet. In includes Cooper’s iconic brooches, hair ties, compact mirror, a silk shoe bag and shoulder bag, pendant necklace, evening clutch bag and other divine accessories.
This creative collaboration combines perfectly the femininity of Tamsin Cooper’s signature style with the elegance that epitomises the RNZB.
