On September 27, New York City Ballet will present the seventh installment of its annual Fall Fashion Gala, celebrating choreography and costume design with an evening of world premiere ballets and creative collaborations with three very different fashion designers: Giles Deacon, Gareth Pugh, and Alberta Ferretti.
-
- Giles Deacon (Gautier Deblonde)
-
- Gareth Pugh (Anthony Maule)

- Alberta Ferretti (Luigi & Iango)
Each designer has been paired with a different choreographer: Giles Deacon with Kyle Abraham, who is producing his first-work for a ballet company, Gareth Pugh with Matthew Neenan, also creating his first piece for NYCB, Alberta Ferretti with Gianna Reisen, who will make her second work for the Company.
