American Ballet Theatre Is Bringing Some of Your Favorite Costumes to NYC's Biggest Shops
American Ballet Theatre
is turning the glamorous stores on New York City’s Madison Avenue into its own costume shop. From now through September 27, luxury stores along the famous shopping avenue like Emilio Pucci, Alice + Olivia and Jimmy Choo will be displaying some of the company’s most well known costumes (with proceeds from your shopping trip at any of the participating stores benefitting ABT’s Costume Fund). And really, what’s more magical than seeing the dress Misty Copeland wears as Juliet in the famous balcony scene among a display of Jimmy Choo shoes?
