Martha Graham, the Fashion Icon
If there’s one word to describe the Martha Graham Dance Company, it’s iconic. From the trademark “Graham” cupped hands to the powerful movements making up her choreo, Martha Graham knew a thing or two about statements. So it’s no surprise that she was as tuned into fashion as she was dance. Vogue took it a step further and decided to delve into the fashion-forward world of Graham costumes over the 90 (!) years the company has been performing. Turns out, lots of designers seem to have been influenced by the beautiful pieces worn by MGDC dancers. Below are some of our favorites, and be sure to check out the entire article (and remaining pictures!).
