For tomorrow's concert at the Aotea Centre in Auckland, pianist Marina Kolomiytseva will wear a Liz Mitchell gown and Zambesi has prepared an outfit for concert presenter Elena Stejko.
An orchestra spokeswoman told the Herald she hoped the initiative would grow, saying, "It's a win-win situation for everyone. The artists look and feel stunning for their performance and it's a subtle but effective way of putting New Zealand fashion on both the local and international stage."
