MATTHEW BOURNE'S SLEEPING BEAUTY

One of my favourite Disney films is Sleeping Beauty so when CJ got me tickets for Valentines to see Matthew Bourne's ballet version of it I was excited and a little bit apprehensive, on the inside I was pleading for it to be good. It was set in the beautiful Kings theatre and I took a panoramic picture from my seat to let you see the gorgeous detail for yourself. 

I am constantly inspired by things I see and do and was still thinking about the story, costumes and music the next day.

Matthew Bourne's take on a classic saw him deciding to replace the main villain Maleficent with her son who was looking for revenge which definitely kept you interested, the 3 hours whizzed by! 

By using the same music that featured in the Disney version makes sure you remember key moments and although you're not allowed to take photos during the performance I featured some website images and a link to the YouTube trailer for you to have a look at.
Enjoy!

THE ENGLISH NATIONAL BALLET GETS THE VIVIENNE WESTWOOD TREATMENT

These breath taking images are the outcome of a re-brand collaboration between The English National Ballet and the one and only Vivienne Westwood!

Vivienne Westwood agreed for her clothes to be used in their first campaign to help them achieve their vision to be the UK’s most creative ballet company. 

The rebrand incorporates a new logo, dramatic new production images and a palette of new colours, this along with VW's signature stamp ensures the atmospheric images make an impression. 

Vivienne Westwood believes that: 

“My clothes allow you to project your personality, and are theatrical in the sense that they are real clothes, well-designed, and they give you a chance to express yourself.” 

This attitude ensures she is still a very relevant figure in the creatives industries even after over 40 years as a fashion designer and business.
