Rei Kawakubo designs costumes for Vienna State Opera www.dezeen.com

Comme des Garcons designer Rei Kawakubo has created the costumes for a Vienna State Opera production of Virginia Woolf's Orlando.
The costumes for the production, which premiered on 8 December, follow a presentation of ideas at Paris Fashion Week in June, and a Comme des Garcons clothing collection in September.
Kawakubo told Dezeen in an interview earlier this year that Comme des Garcons is "nothing about the clothes".
The opera version of Orlando was commissioned by the Vienna State Opera from Austrian composer Olga Neuwirth, with a libretto by Franco-American author and playwright Catherine Filloux.
