For its 2017-18 visual campaign, the New York City Ballet tapped photographer and director Bon Duke for a gorgeous short film. The dancers, wearing an array of designers including Dries Van Noten, Chloé, Calvin Klein, Stella McCartney, Helmut Lang, Rick Owens, and Maison Margiela, move artfully against colorful backdrops that match the emotion of the choreography

"The inspiration for this was simply the feeling you get when you watch New York City Ballet live, and what you walk away with," Bon says, "A New York City Ballet performance not only stimulates your senses as you watch it, but it also lingers in your memory long after it is over."

Watch the campaign, below.
