Greetings,

A further take on the Met's The Hours—the costuming!

Costuming ‘The Hours’ at the Met: Vintage Wallpaper and ’90s Calvin Klein - The New York Times<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/24/style/the-hours-met-opera-costumes.html__;!!KGKeukY!wZwKYwzKnizHAmD3a2KdE4Sw-kT_aNePNb7RU5ZkuLKVyR0SqCW0SqDMLm03yM7uGYB3rO6yP9J-lInOcwdMTSpzNgCc$ >
While creating the costumes for a new opera adaptation of “The Hours,” a designer found inspiration in archival wallpaper, an English farmhouse and 1990s Calvin Klein.

In the print version of the article, the dresses are sequenced vertically and organized chronologically (Virginia Woolf's red, reddish-purple, and black dress with roses; Laura Brown's turquoise dress with pink and blue floral details; and Clarissa Vaughan's off-white jacket and skirt with a brownish/purplish belt).

The costume designer indicates that he focused on the style of the roses he had decided to use for both Virginia's and Laura's dresses.

Worth a read, I think.
