Thanks to the insane demand for Keira Knightley’s green dress in Atonement (created for the movie but not available for purchase) costume designers learned their lesson.
To coincide with the release of Vogue’s July issue featuring covergirl Nicole Kidman, a recreation of the limited-edition dress the actress wears on the cover and in her new Baz Luhrmann film Australia will be available exclusively beginning June 24th at Bergdorf Goodman.
The long dress is described as a “green firebird organza silk gown.” The frock was custom made by two-time Oscar-winning costume designer Catherine Martin, who also created the costumes for Moulin Rouge!. On the cover, Kidman wears leather riding boots by Salvatore Ferragamo. The Florentine fashion house designed a collection of shoes for the epic that will hit stores this fall.
To mark the occasion, Bergdorf will display the dress in a window on Fifth Avenue, complete with an Australian-esque background filled with July Vogue covers. Four of the gowns will be available for $9,850 each in a range of select sizes. Special orders will be taken upon request.
If anyone in the New York area can take a photo of the display and send it to australiamovie.net we’d be delighted to see it!
