Benetton Dresses Teatro alla Scala Chorus for Vogue World: Milano 2026
On September 22, 2023, Benetton teamed up with Luca Galasso, the Fashion Director of Vogue World: Milano, to design outfits for 103 young choristers from Teatro alla Scala. These performers, ranging in age from nine to 20, showcased their talents across five acts, with opera singers entertaining from windows during the Intermezzo. Galasso selected Benetton for its nostalgic connection to childhood. The attire combined formal elegance with youthful vibrancy, featuring a white cotton shirt, black stretch poly-viscose trousers, and a black satin cummerbund, complemented by a Bordeaux Pantone Cabernet bow tie instead of the usual black. These outfits will become part of La Scala's choir uniform, presented to the choristers by both brands.
