Madonna’s halftime show at the 2012 Super Bowl was highlighted by the work done by Givenchy’s Giccardo Tisci.
Madonna collaborated with the Givenchy creative director to create a Cleopatra-themed wardrobe. Tisci told Vogue:
“Following my collaboration with Madonna on her last tour three years ago, it is a great honour for me to be a part of yet another historical and iconic moment … People say everything has a limit, but limits do not exist with Madonna. I am so happy that, after being busy in other scenes, she decided to go back on a music stage. Not only to bring us music, but also to make such a statement of performance and fashion.”
The 12-minute set featured several outfit changes, which included an all over hand-embroidered gold cape, a black mini dress with a hand-studded belt, and an embellished black coat.
Take a look at photos from the event, plus sketches done by Tisci.
