Pianist and fashion designer brings the worlds of music and haute couture together

Today's video of the day takes us to London Fashion week where pianist and designer Weiyin Chen gave a piano recital with a couture twist. The international pianist performed at the ballroom at the Savile Club in Mayfair surrounded by a total of nine concert gowns designed by Chen herself based on each of the works in the recital. Between each piece she changed into the gown that represented the relevant work.

It is certainly interesting to see how differing artistic disciplines can cross and fashion and music is one that is comparatively more rare. Here Chen performs the Mozart Fantasia in D minor K397 in a gown she calls 'Mozart Op.1 No.1'.
