Prabal Gurung and Olivier Theysken had teamed up with choreographers Justin Peck and Angelin Preljocaj respectively to design the costumes for the night's performances. "I was very much inspired by the emotion in the piece and wanted the costumes to mirror the highs and lows," famed designer Prabal says of creating his costumes for the ballet gala.
