“Let’s do my own wedding dress”

FIV: Hello dear Krizzl, how nice that it worked out today with the interview. Congratulations on your wedding! It’s hard to believe, but you made your wedding dress yourself. What inspired you to do it and how long did it take you?

Krizzl: Thank you very much!!! The thought came very spontaneously, just under 1 week before our appointment. Because that was also the period where we moved to a larger apartment. During the move I discovered a box with a lot of white sheer Ikea curtains. That was the moment where I thought…, wait a minute, Let’s do my own wedding dress! I quickly ordered some materials like hoop skirt, butterfly and floral elements and picked the rest from my closet. I was under a lot of pressure, but I was just so into it! The whole thing had then taken a whole three days and it was worth it!

2013 German champion salsa dancing

FIV: It’s clear from your social media channels that dancing is your passion. Could you tell our readers how long you’ve been dancing and how it became your passion?

Krizzl: I’ve probably been dancing since I was ten years old. It has always been a kind of therapy for me. It made me happy! I only ever danced alone, secretly, in my room, until I wanted to go to a dance school when I was fourteen. I quickly realized that I felt underchallenged and came to the point to teach myself on a voluntary basis. Style: Dancehall, HipHop. Through dancing I also met my husband at 16 and we both trained together dancing Salsa. Where we also together 2013, German champions have become. It is simply impossible for me to imagine life without it.

From classical music to rock

FIV: What are your favorite songs to dance to and why?

Krizzl: I love, love, love the 2000s! But I’m very open there. From classical music to dancehall/reggaeton/Latin. From HipHop/R’nB to Rock! The only thing I don’t listen to at all or very little are Schlager and Deutschrap.

After graduation: Hearing Aid Acoustician

FIV: You have also completed training as a hearing aid acoustician. How did it come about that you took this path?

Krizzl: I didn’t know what to do with myself after graduation. I just never knew what my dream job was or what my future should look like. I was always too busy with dance training and taking photos. Funnily enough, the profession of dance teacher never appealed to me, even though I received a lot of offers in this regard. Then suddenly I saw a sign in front of an acoustician’s shop
“Apprentice wanted.” I had never heard of this profession before and thought directly “Ey, that seems to be something where I won’t be bored.”

Krizzl’s trademark: her red hair

FIV: Your trademark definitely includes your beautiful red hair. What are your favorite products to use in your hair routine?

Krizzl: Thank you! I have actually always been asked about my hair. I can’t imagine any other color like copper on me either. My favorite product is once a scalp massage brush and my Octopus curler set for overnight curls, since I let as little heat as possible get to my hair. Everyone also always asks me what hair color I use, since I recommend to dye the hair with Elumen, that is the gentlest variant. However, you have to remember that everyone starts with a different color. I have naturally already red / brown hair.

Turn everything negative into positive

FIV: You radiate a lot of positivity on social media. Of course, social media and reality are two different things, but we would still be interested to know how you can always be so positive?

Krizzl: That’s right! There is not only black and white. Everyone has a story and also has hard times. Of course, one much prefers to show the beautiful sides. I try to turn all the negative things that have happened to me into positive things and to charge my environment at the same time. I have achieved this through my husband. If you have someone at your side who is always there, you live much more positively! It doesn’t always have to be your partner, of course it can also be your buddy, your best friend, your pet or your grandma.

Tips: Make mindset more positive

FIV: Do you maybe even have tips for our readers to make their own mindset more positive?

Krizzl: What always motivates me is the thought “You only live once” and the attitude that it doesn’t matter what others think of you, because as long as you love yourself the world is much nicer. I also always try to convey these values. Self-love, respect and tolerance. Always think of yourself first! This has brought me personally very far. I realized that I was a “people pleaser” and wanted to please everyone and thus slowed myself down a lot.

“I just love taking the wheel”.

FIV: You often do dance collabs. Do you think about a choreography together? How long do you have to practice? How many attempts do you usually need until the video is in the bag? So in short, how can you imagine the preparation and process of such a video?

Krizzl: Most of the time, I’m the one who consciously organizes everything. I just love to take the wheel. I often look for popular/current Dance Challenges or get inspired by new music. Then write dancers that would fit well with the idea and then meet at the location with a suitcase full of clothes and most of the time the best ideas are born on the spot. My husband is a videographer, so he always comes along. Equipment is also at the start. Usually we always do three good takes after we’ve all rehearsed first and that’s it, because if it doesn’t work after the fourth, fifth, sixth try, it can’t work. So sometimes it goes really fast, but sometimes you hang on for a whole day.

Krizzl in private: empathic & stubborn

FIV: Last but not least, we’d like to get to know a bit of your private side. What is your best and what is your worst quality?

Krizzl: The best quality is probably my strong empathy. That’s the ability to recognize and understand other people’s feelings and motives, to simply be able to put myself in my opponent’s shoes. My worst would be my stubbornness or my stubborn nature. I can sometimes be intransigent and then close myself off directly and it then really takes a while until I can open up again.

FIV: Thank you again for your time and the great interview and I wish you all the best on your way!

Today, FIV Magazine presents the collaborations of the House of Dior and dance. A mix of art for the body. When dance and fashion come together, it’s always a successful gamble! Dance has the power to showcase the creations of designers and fashion has the power to sublimate the bodies and movements of dancers.

Dior – Ready-to-wear Fashion Show Spring/Summer 2019

On Monday, September 24, the House of Dior presented its new Spring/Summer 2019 ready-to-wear collection inspired by the world of dance. The fashion show was a true artistic performance where 8 dancers walked around the Dior mannequins and under a rain of rose petals. An exceptional show at the Hippodrome de Longchamps where Maria Grazia Chuiri was inspired by dance as a liberating act.

The artistic director of Dior called on Israeli choreographer Sharon Eyal for the choreography. Sharon Eyal danced with the Batsheva Dance Company before becoming its artistic director and then choreographer in residence. She has created more than 15 pieces for the Batsheva Dance Company and more than 30 choreographies for dance companies around the world such as Half-life for the Royal Swedish Ballet, Feelings and Sara for the Nederland Dance Theatre or Soul Chain for Staatstheater Mainz. The young choreographer has also received many awards such as the prestigious Fedora Van Cleef & Arpels Prize for ballet in 2017.

The Hippodrome de Longchamps was decorated for the occasion with quotes from dancers and choreographers Isadora Duncan, Martha Graham, Pina Baush and Sharon Eyal. Inspiring quotes that can be found in Maria Grazia Chuiri’s creations: long dresses draped in the spirit of Isadora Duncan, dancer’s tulle skirts, feathered jackets, tights, dance suits and the world of Hip Hop with sneakers and other more modern creations. Through this collection, Maria Grazia Chuiri wished to pay homage to Monsieur Dior and to sublimate the modern woman who dances.

Dior x The Teatro dell’Opera di Roma – Ballet Nuit Blanche

From March 29 to April 2, 2019, the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma paid tribute to contemporary music composer Philip Glass with 3 ballets, including Dior’s Nuit Blanche. Maria Grazia Chuiri was keen to collaborate with Eleonora Abbagnato, principal dancer of the Paris Opera and artistic director of the Ballet of the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma. In fact, they both have an atypical background between Italy and France. Eleonora Abbagnato was chosen to be the principal dancer of the Ballet Nuit Blanche with her German partner Friedemann Vogel, principal dancer of the Stuttgart Ballet. Ballet Dior had 16 dancers and was choreographed by Sébastien Bertaud.

Dior has created sublime costumes with materials that are typical of the aesthetics of classical dance, such as tulle, mesh, light and supple materials. In homage to Monsieur Dior, silk flowers were created in the Atelier Fusion Art in Boulogne. In total, 3200 hours of work, 400 meters of tulle, more than 1500 silk flowers and 8 seamstresses.

These 3 interludes allowed both dancers and non-dancers to dance with professionals at home. For those who missed this prestigious moment, you can view the Dior dance lessons on Youtube for free.

Maria Grazia Chuiri strengthened Monsieur Dior’s connection with dance and brought dance into the House of Dior’s heritage.

Luxury and Dance: The Dance According to Coco Chanel

Gabrielle Chanel and Serge Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes

As a young seamstress, Gabrielle Chanel had great admiration for legendary dancers such as Caryathis and Isadora Duncan. When Serge Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes arrived in Paris at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, she fell under her spell. In Venice, her pianist friend and Polish patron Misia Sert introduces her to the mentor of the Ballets Russes: Serge Diaghilev, who introduces her to dance, music, painting, poetry and fashion. Gabrielle Chanel becomes her friend, her dressmaker and her patron. The latter secretly helps finance the Sacre du Printemps, one of the most famous pieces and revival of the Ballets Russes. In 1924, Gabrielle Chanel created the costumes for the Ballet Le Train Bleu directed by Jean Cocteau and choreographed by Bronislava Nijinska, the sister of the famous dancer Vaslav Nijinski.

After freeing the women from the corsets, Coco Chanel frees the dancers of the Russian ballet from the costumes that hinder them. For the first time in the history of dance, the dancers are dressed in tennis, golf and swimsuits. Gabrielle Chanel maintains a strong link between dance and fashion by creating other ballet costumes in 1929 Apollon Musagète and in 1939 Bacchanale in partnership with Salvador Dali.

I gave back to the women’s body its freedom; this body was sweating in parade clothes, under the laces, the corsets, the underwear, the padding. Gabrielle Chanel

La Maison Chanel will be the first Maison de Couture to make costumes for ballets. Karl Lagarfeld also contributes to the dance and fashion tradition at Chanel by creating the costumes for two ballets by the German choreographer Uwe Scholtz in 1986 and 1987. In 2009, he created the outfit for dancer Elena Glurdjidze for the Swan Lake Ballet at the English National Ballet in London. He also created the costumes for the dancers of the Brahms-Schönberg Quartet at the Paris Opera with the dance director Benjamin Millepied.

Chanel to the Opera

In 2018, La Maison Chanel is associated with the Opening Gala of the Paris Opera’s dance season. The following year, Chanel signed the costumes for the annual gala of the Paris Opera Ballet “Variations” by Serge Lifar. Gabrielle Chanel was a close friend of prima ballerina Serge Lifar who considered her as his artistic godmother. The House of Chanel therefore paid tribute to their friendship by designing the costumes for this ballet under the direction of Virginie Viard and with the contribution of the Lemarié workshop which is part of Chanel’s Métiers d’art. Each of the six prima ballerinas embodied a flower: Rose, Lily, Tulip, Wisteria, Cornflower and Violet.

The House of Chanel also dressed the stars invited for the occasion such as Alma Jodorowsky, Anna Mouglais, Caroline De Maigret and Céline Cassel. Podcasts were also made at the Paris Opera with the prima ballerina Léonore Baulac and the principal dancer Germain Louvet.

A Coco Chanel Ballet at the Bolshoi Theatre

Coco Chanel always inspires artists – Last year at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, a dance show dedicated to Gabrielle Chanel was born. The great prima ballerina, Svetlana Zakharova has been performing the role of Gabrielle Chanel at the Bolshoi for more than 16 years.

The choreography is by Youri Possokhov, the music by Ilya Demoutski and the direction by Aleksey Frandetti. It is a show that retraces the highlights of Mademoiselle Chanel’s life. The House of Chanel has even entrusted sketches for the occasion in order to make the costumes in the Bolshoi’s workshops. This artistic masterpiece will be danced at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris on October 24th and 25th, 2020!
