The clip opened with the cast, including Fumi Kaneko, Sumina Sasaki, Marianna Tsembenhoi, Leticia Dias, Katharina Nikelski, C\u00e9line Gittens, Sae Maeda and Marcelino Samb\u00e9, stretching and preparing for their performance, dressed in sequin gowns, tiered tulle dresses\u2014not dissimilar to tutus\u2014and statement two pieces.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Halpern often focuses in on a specific group of people to both inspire and debut his new designs, last year featuring eight frontline workers in his fashion week presentation. This year\u2019s group makes sense: the collection was created around a celebration of a return to movement. Throughout the film, the dancers, who are now returning to the stage after a long hiatus due to the pandemic, explore what dance and movement means to them while showcasing their skills in new season Halpern.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Halpern said he devoted the collection to a technical study of movement brought to life by the dancers, noting the dresses and tailoring of the collection were approached as individual entities, each creation dedicated to showcasing a specific type of movement activated by the physicality of the ballet. The collection was made up of long silk dresses in colors such as orange and red with long trains floating behind, purple sequin trousers paired with bright yellow crop tops, pink feather gowns and, naturally, lots of tulle. Juxtaposing the pretty, vibrant pieces were leather-look dresses with cut-outs and mini dresses with splits through the middle held together by binding ropes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span
