The "close collaboration": This year's Opera Ball gown sets new standards in the world of evening wear. In a unique collaboration between the renowned Austrian costume designer Stephanie Hofer, the esteemed English fashion house DSI London, and the creative vision of Silvia Schneider, an impressive masterpiece of couture art was created. This extraordinary dress has caught tremendous attention at this year's Opera Ball.   The centrepiece of this opulent design is a bodysuit completely adorned with golden Aurum Preciosa crystals, extending from the soles to the fingertips. Above this radiant foundation  sits a couture creation in deep black, accentuating the waist and emphasizing the wearer's elegance. With over 150 hours of meticulous handiwork, every element of this dress was carefully crafted by a high-calibre team.   Silvia Schneider, the creative force behind this unique ensemble, shares her thoughts on this masterpiece: "It's not easy to slip into this creation; the suit fits like a second skin,  revealing some but also concealing everything. The black dress caresses the figure while simultaneously accentuating it. It's the perfect blend of dedication and restraint, and I'm incredibly excited to ascend the grand staircase in it."   The convergence of Stephanie Hofer's talent, DSI London's expertise, and Silvia Schneider's design idea embodies true teamwork at its finest. Every single crystal, every millimetre  of the perfect gown was carefully selected to create a unique work of art.   The premiere of this exclusive masterpiece was undoubtedly a highlight of this year's Ball of Balls.

We need to thank the BBC and costume designer Vicky Gill for the privilege to continue to contribute to the record breaking biggest show on earth Strictly Come Dancing has now become. We feel incredibly grateful to be part of such wonderful success story, touching and energising viewers all over the World.

Congratulations and well done to all participants. Images: BBC/Guy Levy

Embracing all diversities and aligning with our all-inclusive policy, we are thrilled to announce that a DSI London costume was featured in the recent Pride in London parade on June 29th. David Waddington, Creative Director for the World of Waddington, eloquently captured the essence of the event and his involvement: "Mister Sunshine, a performance and entertainment character, represented the World of Waddington at Pride in London on June 29th, 2024. Pride in London is the UK’s largest and most diverse Pride event, which provides a platform for LGBTQ+ people to express themselves creatively and celebrate their identity. Their events are open to people of all races, faiths, abilities, sexualities, and genders, including straight and cis allies. Mister Sunshine appeared alongside Arts Outburst, a combined arts organisation that is part of Arts Council England’s National Portfolio, and Kinetika, an internationally renowned company providing bespoke large-scale hand-painted silk flags for outdoor events. I was delighted to showcase Mister Sunshine at Pride in London, in the character’s costume produced by DSI London. Mister Sunshine represents colour, light, and positivity, aiming to inspire us all to fill the world with sunshine and encourage us to spread a little sunshine in our own lives and each other’s too. I have worked with DSI London for a number of years now, and with their spectacular track record in West End shows, television, and film, DSI is my number one choice for costume production. I trust them completely with my characters; they deliver, and I know the characters are being #dressedbythebest every time."
