Fall Fashion Gala
October 8, 2025
This October, we were thrilled to host the 13th annual Fall Fashion Gala on Wednesday, October 8; an extraordinary evening to benefit the company where the worlds of ballet and high fashion converged in a celebration of creativity, elegance, and artistic excellence. This much-anticipated tradition was a highlight of the company’s fall performances and an opportunity to witness groundbreaking new choreography and visionary collaborations between choreographers and designers.
The gala program featured Foreseeable Future a world premiere by distinguished choreographer Jamar Roberts with costumes by acclaimed fashion designer Iris van Herpen and music by Arca. This premiere marked Roberts’ third work for the company, and van Herpen’s second time presenting costume designs at the Fall Fashion Gala. Gianna Reisen’s Composer’s Holiday made a return to the Fall Fashion Gala stage, with fleet-footed choreography set to a violin and piano interpretation of Lukas Foss’s Three American Pieces and costumes designed by Virgil Abloh of Off-White™. The program also showcased a company favorite - William Forsythe’s striking and inventive Herman Schmerman Pas de Deux, paired with an electronic score by his long-time collaborator Thom Willems and costumes by Gianni Versace.
For the fifth consecutive year, the Fall Fashion Gala was generously sponsored by Wells Fargo.
