PRADA FOR OPERA

A couple of weeks ago i read at dazed& confused mag that costumes in Verdi's Attila at Metropolitan opera are made by Prada. To be honest, i venever heard big designers' names to do such work before but apparently i was in the dark...For example Coco Chanel made costumes for Jean Cocteau’s adaptation of Sophocles’ “Antigone” (1922), and Diaghilev Ballets Russes’ production of Le Train Bleu (1924). Unfortunately i couldn;t find any pictures for the first one.
