Seen here in an extreme close-up,
this exquisite tutu for one of the
dancing girls in Balanchine’s Western
Symphony replicates the original
costume design by Barbara Karinska.
Karinska invented the “powder puff”
tutu because traditional pancake
tutus did not work with the number
of dancers Balanchine liked to have
onstage. Balanchine credits her
costume designs for half of his success
as a dancemaker. The two worked
on 75 ballets together and remained
friends until death. See the complete
costume and performance details on
page 39.
