After designing costumes for Madonna's sucessful Super Bowl Half Time Show, Riccardo Tisci from Givenchy is now working on her MDNA World Tour.
"I worship and adore [Jean Paul Gaultier]. He’s creating one of my costumes, and kind of godfathering the costumes for a section of my show, with all my dancers. I’m really happy he’s doing it, because he’s such a genius," Madonna told WWD during an interview after the Macy’s appearance. "And I’ll probably wear something that Riccardo [Tisci] from Givenchy makes. But the rest of it is going to be what my costume designer Arianne Phillips creates with me."
"It’s crunch time for me getting my show ready, so after this I have to go back to the dungeon,” Madonna told WWD. "I call it the dungeon, where we work. In a room with no light. It’s kind of our factory, but I have a lot of work to do."
Madonna also talked about the Super Bowl show and called it "one of my most favorite and most treasured performing experiences, for sure. That was amazing." But next time she may opt for flats instead of heels: "The dance that LMFAO does, the shuffle, was really hard to do in heels. I have to say, I would prefer to do the shuffle in sneakers. If you want to drop it like it’s hot, it’s good to wear flats, because then your booty gets really close to the floor, but then there are things you can do in heels that you can’t do in sneakers."
