I think it's safe to say that Danny Boyle brought some of the edgiest style to what many dubbed the Rock n' Roll Olympics. However, creative director Kim Gavin and production designer Es Devlin have earned the title of the "Fashion Olympics" in bringing out some surprising Goth fashion to the closing ceremonies...
First, my beloved Pet Shop Boys rolled out in bright orange origami-like carts dressed in dramatic Gareth Pugh. Next, Britain's supermodels strutted out custom gold gowns made by British fashion designers like Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood.
Finally, Annie Lennox entered the stadium like a vampire queen. She descended down from a massive black ship into a chorus of dramatically clad dancers. The dancers were dressed in gorgeous voluminous gowns in period silhouettes. The heavily shadowed eyes, black lace, corsets, skulls and bustles were distinctively Goth.
Ok Brasil, London has set the bar pretty high...What will you do to follow that?
