With Madonna’s tour in limbo, her costume designer gives an emotional update on the singer
Madonna‘s recent hospitalization for what her team has called a “serious bacterial infection.”Last week, the Queen of Pop’s manager, Guy Oseary, revealed she was rushed to the hospital on June 24th and spent several days in the intensive care unit.
While he noted that “a full recovery is expected,” Madonna’s highly-anticipated Celebration Tour has since been delayed and its original start date of July 15th has been postponed.A post shared by Guy Oseary (@guyoseary)Now the tour’s costume designer is breaking his silence and giving fans an update on his experience working with the “Vogue” singer over the last five months.On Wednesday, fashion designer Guram Gvasalia, who is the creative director of Swiss luxury fashion house Vetements, shared a photo sitting alongside Madonna as the two appeared to be working intently on the tour in front of a laptop.“Madonna thank You so much for the last months!” Gvasalia began the caption. “Working so closely together on the costumes for your tour and bringing our visions and creativity into one big CELEBRATION.”He added: “Designing your costumes was such a privilege and an honor.
Seeing you work, seeing your drive and determination is so inspiring, now I understand why you are who you are.”Although he didn’t specifically comment on Madonna’s health, he finished by writing: “You are a fighter, you are an icon, you are THE QUEEN!”A post shared by GURAM GVASALIA (@gvasalia)The 37-year-old designer’s Instagram post was coincidentally timed with the release of a New York Times profile highlighting Gvasalia’s rise to prominence in the fashion industry.Although new dates for the Celebration Tour have yet to be announced, Gvasalia’s designs are expected to make a huge impact once the stage.
