The Morgan Library’s Ballets Russes exhibition offers interesting perspectives on topics that echo those being discussed in fashion.
The Ballets Russes is the subject of a newly-opened exhibition at The Morgan Library & Museum in New York that has parallels with the current state of a fashion industry in flux. My reading of “Crafting the Ballets Russes: The Robert Lehman Collection” surely strays from the curator’s intent, yet some of the issues the show addresses—including performance, collaboration, the status of women, and the preservation of the transitory—echo those we are discussing in the Vogue offices.
Among them are Ida Rubenstein, a dancer, who split from Diaghilev and formed her own rival company, and Bronislava Nijinska, sister of Vaslav, a dancer who became the Ballets Russes’ only female choreographer.
