    may09midsummer_270Ten things FASHION loves about Shakespeare’s Tytania, as played by Laura Claycomb in the Canadian Opera Company’s ethereal singing-to-life of A Midsummer Night’s Dream:

    1. Her titian hair’s so hotly hued, it would make Coca Rocha cry. If you weren’t already tempted by scarlet tresses—the recessionista’s so-2009 way of going into the red—I promise, you will be after falling under this fairy queen’s spell.

    2. She wears sequins in the daytime. So Balmain (balmain.com)…

    3. …and her king, Oberon, rocks the Christophe Decarnin/Carine Roitfeld look too. Check out that Michael Jackson jacket! Embellished, majorly shoulder-padded, and boldly paired with man-leggings. Androgny: the new sexy.
