In the upcoming autumn season, Wes Gordon will create costumes for the New York City Ballet on behalf of the Carolina Herrera line.
Only Gordon is a participating fashion designer at this year’s fall gala, which also serves as the beginning of City Ballet’s 75th anniversary season.

For its fall gala, City Ballet will perform scenes from the work with 10 dancers wearing fresh costumes created by Gordon.
