Peter Pan - Luc Petit Creation
To create and make a dress worn by an athlete who doubled for the singer and who appeared above a wind machine with a wind velocity of over 250 Km / h.
The dress, fluid and light, was a copy of the singer's but was an all-in-one piece with concealed features so it could meet this technical challenge. It included gussets to slow it down and flounces to maintain its’ stability. The material chosen was a technical fabric able to withstand the power of the wind machine and to protect the athlete. Finally, seams were placed at strategic points to stop the fabric tearing.
«The enchanted castle» Luc Petit Creation
To create and design a dress for a Marchioness worn by a performer who had to appear to the audience upside down on the ceiling above the stage.
Flexible and rigid, the dress allowed the artist to perform in this position without any piece of fabric or ribbon falling off during her performance. Thanks to the choice of materials and their technical nature, she could change by herself, upside down, in a tiny black box that served as a dressing room up on high, and put on under the dress all the technical equipment necessary to ensure her safety during her performance.

Taking a sewing team beyond what they can imagine.
The project was completed thanks to the union and solidarity of the team which reached its peak during the preparation of the show. Seeing the joy and pride in the eyes of each person involved is the greatest reward one can have. This too is the mark of a successful project.
